Re: Re: CULT: RootBeer Aroma

Don't forget City Lights, a modern TB.  There was a lot about it on Iris Photos in January of last year.  My grandchildren brought it to my attention by calling it the root beer iris.

  Inca Chief - Gesine tells me that it was offered in a past
  HIPS rhizome sale. Too bad they're not having one this year...

  Another iris that has a root beer fragrance is ALCAZAR
  (Vilmorin 1910) - we just had one open yesterday.

  P.S. - thanks Walter and Mike for the Nimble Toes info!
