crowrita1 said:I don't think it's Rheingauperle......I'd rather think it's one of the i. pallida clones. The plant height is way too short for a pallida....but, that can be explained(maybe) by "first year" growth, or weather....everything here is blooming "off " this year. Aroma sounds wrong foe a pallida, as well, they usually have quite a bit of 'scent' .....a "grape soda" smell. You might do some looking here :

Arlyn, thank you for the links. The first one was a little tougher because it's in German and I don't have much time at the moment to work my way through it; but the second link, which i followed to here http://wiki.irises.org/bin/vie... , looks spot on, from the dry, papery bracts to the sweet scent to the nearly identical photos. Now that I seem to know the overall species, time to see if there is a cultivar name associated with mine...
