I think the stark whiteness and clear deep color make this a unique iris. Even seen here with pollen on it's falls I think it is striking. I lost this one several years ago and then it surprised me and came back up in the same spot. It suffered last year in the flooding and now it lives in a pot.
Thro' all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul— How can I keep from singing?
