Best Bet??

Best Bet?? (Iris germanica (Orris))

Falls are more purple than the photo shows, slight streaking on the standards, slight sweet scent.

There will always be some variation even within the same species. It's a pretty one whatever it's called.

Yes, I think it depends on soil conditions, and the zone. For instance, I am so disappointed in 'Peach Jam', all photos show purple streaking to some degree, mine none. It is a pretty flower though I didn't want another plain pink.

I think this is called Best Bet. My gardening friend along the road got this 10+ years ago from T&M.
