CEMahan wrote (from the archives):
Odoratissima is a form of I. pallida, and looks pretty much like the I.
pallida that grows throughout the Eastern U.S. in gardens, graveyards,
beside the road, etc. You can tell it by its lavender blue flowers and white
papery spathes. Odoratissima is, as the name suggests, very
fragrant------but then so is I. pallida.
