Re: I. sanguinea/sibirica

Thanks, Jim and Roger,

Yes, it seems like an excellent garden plant so far.

I did some digging and found a list of the names of seeds planted in
that row on Oct 25, 2011.

'10sb169 sanguinea kamayama' was the name on the seed packet from SIGNA
exchange, obtained from the winter exchange and saved until fall to plant.

On a Pinterest webpage there is a photo and the following paragraph:


"Diana Zinnia

Iris sanguinea 'Kamayama' This plant was originally obtained from Japan
by Jean Witt in 1968. Unlike a typical wild I. sanguinea, Kamayama holds
its flowers well above its leaves. It is a very nice garden plant 23
April 1999 Iris sibirica 'Kamayama' EM, 36" Dark, dusty purple. Tall
strong grower and bloomer with the blooms distinctly taller than the
foliage. It is very vigorous and easy to grow. Great chioce for mass
plantings."
