This description sure sounds like Pink Pixie. It's the right height and it
bloomed about the same time as my talls were fading away. I am pretty sure this
iris is one that I bought from Riverside Gardens about 5 years ago. I bought
100's of historic irises that year. And I definitely recall having a really
hard time reading some of the name labels attached to the irises. I
recall writing the name pink pine and thinking the word pine did not seem
appropriate but it was the best I could decipher from the handwriting.
A big thank you to all. You're the BEST!!!!

I've checked the Iris registry I have until
2004 and there is no mention of an iris named Pink Pine, perhaps someone
just gave it that name or it was a garden centre purchase??

The color is a little deeper than these photos -it's such a pretty
color. Almost all my flowers have washed away due to all the rain.
Please send any info you have on this iris named Pink Pine to me.
Thanks in advance

Does anyone have any info on a iris named Pink Pine? It looks
similar to Trust only a little darker. If will try and post a photo
but it's been raining off and on.
Thanks,
