Re: Iris domestica 'Gigantica'

 

Whoa, too cool! I must grow this! Are *any* other irises anywhere near that tall? Is the flower unusually large for domestica (which would also imply tetraploidy)? Sort of hard to tell from the angle of the photo. How does it stand up to wind?

This was found growing at a temple in the mountains of India. This year it is 91” tall (231 cm). Possibly a tetraploid?


Has anyone ever seen one nearly that tall?
