Re: RE:Arilbred

Dorothy,
I have a siberian irs from my mom, It is much larger than these delicate beauties. What ever these are they tolerate really tough somewhat alkaline soil and very dry conditions. The ones that have done the best get dappled shade most of the day. One is purple and the other is a lavender with a decidedly blue looking area around the beards. Hopefully with my new zoom lens I can get decent pictures of them. The old camera I had just caught a splash of color and no details.

  Hi Wendy,

  It sounds like you have some Siberian irises.  They come in white and shades 
  of blue, purple and red-violet and are very popular plants for perennial 
  borders.  They like slightly acid and somewhat moist (but not boggy) 
  conditions.  Your description could also fit older spuria irises, but very 
  few general nurseries carry them.
