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.

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.
