They are gorgeous and one of my very favorite flowers, although I can't grow them in an apartment, but maybe I'll give some to my DDIL and DS to grow in their garden. My Mom had this beautiful iris, white with a lacy lavender border, very unusual and I tried to find one like it, but didn't have any luck.

I had a small row of those years ago in a rental we had. The mailman and I traded bulbs for several years until we both had a checker board design. I had many colors he did not, and he had lots that I didn't have. The landlord loved the upgrade to his big old yard. The mailman told me those were called 'parchment &rubies' but that is all I know...

Dodee, I have had these for about 5 or 6 years now and this is the only plant that comes up every year. Why they don't multiply, I don't know. I know I got them from Burgess.
