the iris relative happen to be Dietes bicolor? It is common in landscapes
in warm areas. Bill,
That it is. Sometimes it is sold as Morea bicolor but it is the same
plant. I have one plant of this, and one plant of the white Dietes in the
most sheltered spots I have. They will not grow in the open here due to
winter cold spells. Thinking cold, here is a photo from this past
December. That is not frost, but is ice that built up when there was some
marine air that moved in during a freeze during the night. The temperature
at the time of the photo was 17Â F. Mark
