It grows about 20-24" tall, blooms in early June, is free of iris borer, never needs staking and is luminous in the late afternoon. It was given to me by a friend some 20 years ago who got it from her grandmother. Grandma had grown it for years. I suspect it is an old variety.

Does it have a good perfume?

Yes it does. Stronger than the newer varieties, but not at all overpowering. Very pleasant.

Do you have any closer pictures of the bloom?

It certainly is an older variety! And your picture is wonderful!!!

@Lestv I don't tonight, but can get one tomorrow & post it. I appreciate your help.

Thanks, I think it will really help make a more positive ID for you.

I'd say it looks like it is... What a glorious mass of blooms!

I'm quite sure it is. Here's mine.



It will often have some of the fall's colors show up in some of the standards, and I see that in your picture. Also the standards are not always closed, and spread out a lot. Has a nice scent, and grows well with little tending.

@tveguy3 and @Lestv: ok, here are some close ups. Keep in mind these photo were taken this morning after a downpour last night. The flowers look a little the worse for the pounding.

Yup, that's our girl.

Thanks all!

Late to respond, but looks like mine too. Thanks for the extra pics Cayuga!

Have to agree, Loreley, a nice grower.
