I have a linen tablecloth that belonged to my grandma with just such markings, but I also got some rhizomes from her gorgeous Iris culprits....I have some 30 different varieties that I'd love to trade and share as I thin mine in fall. Also looking for a variety that Iris borers took from me that was great aunt's from 1970s...soft pink, ruffled standards and falls, pale yellow beards...called Party Dress, Party Doll...something like that...can't find it anywhere....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-90423614810979372472012-05-17T14:08:12.315-05:002012-05-17T14:08:12.315-05:00Though I have no idea if yours is the same as this...Though I have no idea if yours is the same as this, you might be interested to know that the black iris is Jordan's national flower, endemic to the region.

No bloom this year either, but I just know one year it will burst forth with a gorgeous bloom like this one! I don't think the one you gave me came from the source you talk about in this post though. Or maybe I'm mistaken? It doesn't matter, but I can't wait to see it bloom!
