I have Silverado and Uncle Charlie, unfortunately only one of them is blooming this year and I don't know which one it is. It is really fragrant though, is either of these fragrant?

I love iris fragrance so I am a bit embarrassed to say I don't remember what Silverado smells like. Hasn't bloomed in a few years.

Looking at the database Silverado is not listed as being fragrant and Uncle Charlie is listed as being Slight Sweet in fragrance. I don't grow either so I can only look up the data.

I grow Silverado, have for 4 years now and if it finally decides to bloom this year, I'll try to remember to give it a good sniff!

Well it has a strong fragrance, but I really think it is Silverado that is blooming, so who knows. Does anyone have any tips on telling them apart?

Lillie, PLEASE sniff! I would love to see your post-sniff report!

Well, it'll have to bloom first!

Mine opened yesterday and I didn't detect any fragrance.

Okay thanks for letting me know! Perhaps mine is Uncle Charlie then.

You're welcome.

Can we see a picture of your iris?

My Silverado just opened its first ever bloom and the fragrance is mild sweet floral.

Hope this helps!

Isn't Uncle Charlie whiter than silverado?
