Re: CULT: RootBeer Aroma


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!
