So prretty, mine looks like Geisha Girl. Pirl, you didn't send me any J iris did you? I have had mine several yrs now and they were a gift. I didn't buy mine.
Thanks. My lists of trades were on my old computer, which died. I couldn't retrieve any information from it. Show us the photos and maybe I can help identify yours. I know we've traded but have no idea of the plants involved.
How sweet you are, Marilyn. I do like Tarhelm but probably should stake it long before it blooms. It's upsetting to see it lying down on the earth and soil looks so awful on a white JI.
That garden, the Japanese iris garden at the courtyard, is either "oodles of irises" or havoc. There are many that have to be divided this year and that's a big job. They're all all too close for comfort and many times for identification.
I feel like Santa's mother after working hard outside today! Santa has it easy in a heated workshop. No fair!
It is all worth the work when the JI's are in bloom. I'm still loving the look of them and still buying more though I keep telling myself I don't have space. I'm sure it's that way with any plant we happen to love.
