Lyle, thanks for the conformation that the white iris is a spuria iris. It is quite tall and looks good toward the back of the border. Mona, I think you are addicted to all plants! I genuinely appreciate someone like Marcelle who has devoted so much of her life to this one flower. I also appreciate her generosity in giving seeds away just for postage. I am SOOoooo happy with mine now that they have matured. They remind me of an agave except that the leaves curl under some. BIG plants.
