| Unknown, Old Yellow Iris. 5.12.19 |
I didn't see anything that special today, although I'm enjoying the iris garden and there were some additional varieties blooming. Of those in early or peak blooming today, I think I like "Owyhee Desert" the best.
The yellow that is unidentified, came with the place. There's no way to know the variety. Looking at the
Historic Iris Society website, it could be one called "Antigone", or one called "Country Butter". It's a nice, old-type (mid 20th century) iris, so I'll keep it as a link to the past at my place, and just call it unknown, old yellow iris.
The lavender iris here is pinker in person. In the photo, it looks more blue. Not fragrant. I think I will cull it, I have more than I can take care of and it doesn't have any special characteristics that make me want to keep it.
"Play to Win" came out quite nice. It's kind of a standard, white standard / yellow fall iris. Nice form. Some fragrance.
The Unknown Pink was in the woodlot. If another pink blooms and they look the same, then there's a tentative ID. Possibly - but not certain - Beverly Sills.
