White was never my favorite until I planted one in the iris garden and realized not only are white iris beautiful they raise the beauty level of all the other colors.

This is a good rebloomers here but if it blooms too early the heat folds it up in one day.

One of my favorite white TB's is Diamond Lil

She is lacey and ruffled and hold her falls out with an attitude. A really beautiful white iris both individually and as a clump.

Gunna start out with Good Ol' Immortality. The only reliable rebloomer I have so far.

Politicians are like diapers, they need to be changed often, and for the same reason.

Tom -- the clump shot of My Beloved really shows the value of white Irises in a bed!! You have some real beauties.

Bonnie -- wow! What a round-up of white Irises. I think you'll probably win the prize for most!

Just wanted to repeat something that I said in an earlier post -- it's OK to post an Iris that you have that someone else has too.

Irises can look so different in different locations, that they can look like different Irises altogether. let's see 'em all!!
