That must be it El, the Orris Iris.  Where does that primarily grow?  Would you (or anyone out there) happen to know?

Margie, you're thinking of the Orris iris.  It's still used today to prepare commercial perfume.

Colleen, I once heard/or read that people use to (and maybe still do) make perfume from iris roots/rhizomes.  I wonder if the roots - say from your highly perfumed seedling - would be more desirable than those roots from irises that have no scent.
