I bought most of my irises three years ago from a friend who has won prizes for her irises in S. California shows. She gave me the registered names of all those I bought, but I lost the name for this one and can't find anything similar online. I love the velvety violet falls. The shade makes them look slightly darker than they really are.
It just opened today, is 36" tall, has a very light fragrance. 1/3 of my irises have bloomed so far, so does that make it early/mid season? (I'm in zone 6b. We have a three-month growing season, starting about now.)
