Re: Iris pallida

 

Dennis,
      I see that, and think of how those smelled.  Sometimes, it would be worth having snow to have those.

I. pallida is probably the most common iris to see in the rural parts of southwestern Ohio.  The second place prize probably goes to I. flavescens.  In more suburban & urban areas, modern TBs reign surpreme.  (and to be honest, i've seen modern TBs way out in farm country too.)  I absolutely LOVE this time of year, taking long drives around small towns & farmland just to see what irises people are growing.  I saw a clump of I. pallida blooming back around April 30 / May 1.  I was stunned.  That was sooo early!

What a wonderful display of I pallida!  I wish I could keep one alive for more than a few years.  Your I. virginica is gorgeous too.  Re your pond photo, looks like I. versicolor to me.  I haven't seen any other iris self sow in my pond in over 20 years.

Yesterday I was driving through a small town called Mt. Orab in rural Ohio when I saw this house.  I had to stop my car & take some photos!  Unfortunately the lens fogged up in the muggy air.
