Re: General garden catalogs
This is really one of the worst ads I've seen. :-)
I raise a form of I. pallida variegata that looks quite similar to this....
white & green foliage (aka "Zebra") rather than yellow & green though I also
raise that. Anyone who knows what a bearded iris looks like wouldn't be
fooled into thinking this was I. pseudacorus.
What I really object to is the yellow LA being pawned off as a JI. Not
everyone knows what these species look like.
