Rodney,
I have been taking pictures of my Neomarica while it has been
blooming. Today, the larger one had 32 open blooms while the smaller one
had 18 on it. It has a moderate, but very sweet fragrance. The blooms on
this plant are larger now that I have it growing outdoors. If you want a
picture of this plant, or would like some babies, let me know. By the way,
in this area, this species is referred to commonly as Marcia.
