It means no one has submitted a photo to go into the database entry for this plant yet. If you know of somewhere that has it growing you can plan to take a photo and submit it yourself, and get two acorn! Smiling (I've never seen this one myself)
If we had no holes in our leaves we would have no butterflies!

Thank you, BrendaVR. I'm pretty sure I have this one in my garden but it's falls are not rounded like most PCI's that I have seen. I have just found an unnamed photo on another site which certainly looks like mine, but to see an actual photo would make me feel more certain that it is a PCI....I've been referring to it as a 'early dwarf Siberian Iris'

Ya, its sometimes hard to be sure when they don't come to you labeled (or come to you miss-labeled)... I usually go to the Iris Wiki for confirmation but looks like they only have one pic of it too so would be nice to have more: http://wiki.irises.org/bin/vie...

You could try posting a photo of yours in the iris forums and asking others what they think...not sure anyone could help but its worth a try.

How long have you had it? Did you purchase it from a reputable PCI vendor? It's a fairly recent intro, 2010, and the hybridizer is from Australia so not sure if this was ever imported to the U.S.
