[PHOTO] English iris


This English iris shows just a hint of what's been called "virus markings". The healthiest and largest of the surviving purchased bulbs, this is its 2nd year for bloom. (The first of its seedlings should be large enough to bloom next year.)
 
I keep wondering if perhaps these marks may indicate some small damage to the delicate buds by weather changes rather than a disease. This is slightly more exposed to the elements than the purple one.
