My dad hybridized this one. It's named after my daughter.

Those are beautiful flowers , I love Iris. Can your Dad sell any of them, as plants? Elaine

Oh yes--Dad has it as a business. People come and dig up what they like--pay him and take them home to plant in their gardens. He has 10,000s of Iris in every color you can imagine. He also sells peonies and hostas and dayliles. I worked with him for years--until I started teaching full time. It's how I paid for my sewing machine. :wink:

I'll post pics when I get them.

Can't wait to see the irises! They grow great here in Maine, too, and are my favorite. Will be looking forward to the pictures.

P.S. Does he sell irises on-line, too??
