Hi Polly, thanks for the compliment. And thanks for confirming what I suspected several years ago when I bought the yellow iris. Although it was labeled as an ensata, it didn't look like one when it bloomed. I think it's probably a cross. It has been a very modest performer in our gardens. One year it didn't bloom at all, and this year it only had two blossoms. I deadhead all my irises, so if this is an invasive variety, it won't have a chance to spread. I won't pass it along to other gardeners either, since I won't be able to control how they deal with it.
