Re: Mystery spuria species

Thanks for the info, and the Kew link.

So is it likely this iris really is
a white form of carthaliniae - which is
listed as having both blue and white forms
on the SIGNA species database?

I've attached smaller versions of the two pictures
I sent earlier - sorry for the huge files!

Thanks,

Jean
