Colleen, Iris City Gardens carry both *albicans* and *florentina.* Neither look like what I grew in Idaho as albicans.

The Iris City Gardens photos show albicans a quite a clean white. Their written description mentions a yellowish influence in the hafts. The florentina is described as white with a bluish influence. The photo on their website shows a slight bicolor with some yellow in the hafts.

What I grew was a slightly greyed-white intermediate, completely sterile as far as I could tell and did not have the crisp look Iris City's photo suggests.

The folks at Iris City are pretty careful about identities. Their *Iris germanica* photo is the first I've seen that really matches the description. It is a bitone blue-violet in their photo.
