HYB: Iris suaveolens var. rubromarginata

---

Iris suaveolens var. rubromarginata is the earliest
iris I have. It's just opened its first bloom along
with the forsythia and flowering cherry trees. I tried
to get my hand in the picture for size comparison. The
flower probably stands only about 3 or 4 inches tall
from the ground.

[note the reddish pigment along the margins of the
tiny curved leaves]

The second picture is an even worse quality close-up.
I hope you can at least see the form [extremely tucked
falls] and maybe the little blazes of bright purple
that extends down from the beards.
