Iris Wintry Sky (Iris germanica (Orris))

A free iris that came with my 2011 order . It did not bloom last year but well worth the wait ! Runnerup for the 2012 Dykes Medal

I love amoenas, especially the reverse ones, they are pretty unusual. I really love this. My "Chariots" hasn't bloomed yet Nancy and the dear Magpies have done their thing with half dozen labels, so now I don't know which one is which! I will when it blooms tho..must be patient!

My Charoits has not bloomed in a few years now. Am not sure if it is still in the mix. That's the trouble it is so easy to lose track . I have started using copper tags that I can engrave with a pen but even that is hard to read through time .
