Hey Jim,
I hate to tell that grower that his iris does NOT
look like I. Verna to me. I don't know what it is, but Verna is bearded,
and this one seems to only have signals. I used to grow I. Verna until
it was crowded out by ginger. It grows natively in the mountains of east
Kentucky, requires well drained, quite acid, sandy soil, with moderate
moisture.

( I. verna )
An iris ad arrived in my email today. I thought folks mind find it
interesting. Not from an iris nursery but more of a general plant nursery.
He runs 'Specials' every month or so. If you are interested write me
privately for the full ad.
Iris verna is one of my very favorite spring wildflowers. I so
look forward to the bright, bold yet delicate three dimensional blooms held
tightly against the plant. The vivid colors stand out from a great distance
and draw you ever closer. Being a very vigorous clump forming, long lived
perennial, you never have to fret about it becoming a nuisance in the
garden.
