What can I say? This color is like an old faded Kodachrome. It looks like there is a layer of dirt covering a nicer looking flower. But there isn't. It has a faint fragrance.
Iris pigments don't always photograph true. I think the photo is nicer than the flower in person.
I'm not usually one to dig up a healthy plant and throw it away, but this one will go when it finishes blooming. There are countless better looking ones. This cultivar has the advantage of reblooming, so you can look at ugly twice a year.
I hope "His Royal Highness" looks better.
Oh my gosh! I have this Iris. I never knew a name it was planted at a house when I moved in....I really don't like it! It's "ugly" and I can't seem to get rid of it, I've dug it up but couldn't throw them away(they're still in the pot waiting to be tossed and yet they bloom)I think the blooms are depressing...ugh. Too funny...I really enjoy reading you updates. Thank you, Heather
ReplyDeleteThank you Heather! There are thousands of other varieties! No use growing a depressing, ugly one. Mine's going into the trash when it's done blooming.
