I've got Strozzapreti too JoAnn -- you're right, it's an unusual Iris. How is the form on yours?

I'm not sure what you mean by form. I am a iris twitt.
The plant is smaller than a TBI and the blooms are smaller too but it might be the diffacult spot where it's growing.
I see its a TBI But not in my garden.

Not an iris, but Jack in the pulpit's are thriving on the north side of my house.

JoAnn -- well kind of a funky, not robust look to it. Hard to explain. Mine is also shorter than a TB, and the flower smaller. I've been disappointed in it. Here's a picture of it from last year:



I've been wondering if it just doesn't like its spot -- and plan to move it after I get more bed work done. How does yours look compared to mine?

Mine wasnt as fully open as yours. I was given a bunch of small plants 2 years ago. They were labled but I just planted all in the same spot. I am waiting for blooms to id them.
Mine has only one bloom stalk and since I have rot in the area I hope I see it next year.

It is Bonnie -- looks like it's on it's way to becoming incredible -- but just didn't get there. And very small flowers. I'm hoping that it's the environment and not the Iris.

JoAnn -- I hope yours survives -- I'll be interested in your opinion in a year or two!

Paul, those warm toned beards on white irises really stand out. I really have more white irises than I had planned but the beards make all the difference. Great photos and great irises.

Ken Yes, there is a very strong resemblance! Mine came identified as Skating Party, but obviously isn't. It is a really nice iris though, with great substance - so it has a permanent home in my garden.
