And I had expected to be posting on a regular basis! Lazy me. I don't know why or what, but I am back now with a couple of interesting historic pictures for you all to tak a look at.
First for a really big gorgeous iris that will knock your socks off.
Anthem is an iris developed by Schreiner's and intro'd in 1956. It is big andbeautiful. It grows tall and has good substance.
You can't go wrong with this iris in your garden.
Another iris that bloomed this year is this one:
Copper Frills: This iris is very unlike Anthem, in that its shape is different. Its falls are narrow and the color is somewhat unusual.
Actually, I really like it. Its an iris intro'e by Agnes Whiting in 1941 and it appears to be sterile, so there are no offspring of Copper Frills around to admire.
You don't find Copper Frills that often, as most commercial
growers do not carry it, however if you like the unusual color and shape it is an interesting
one for the collection.
