Hi Jan...Valentino is a beautiful iris. Ours did great for us. One
year clump was a great size. John and Leslie are putting out some AWESOME
stuff!

Quiz
At the Fredericksburg Area Iris Societyâs harvest dinner on Saturday,
there were about 17 irises on display brought in by various members. As
soon as I entered the hall, one stalk stood out -- a large-flowered
red. When I saw its identity, I was amazed. Iâve grown this flower
myself and never saw it this fine. The falls of the top bloom are 7â
across. I asked Doug Chyz, who had brought it, if I could glean some
pollen. He said, âTake the stalkâ. So, here it is
(attached). Itâs not a glamour photo -- the falls have been
removed from a spent bloom and the top bloom is marred from travel, but I just
wanted to present it as an example of what this cultivar can look like.
Anyone guess its name? --
