Re: OT: need help please identifying


From: Dennis Kramb <dkramb@tso.cin.ix.net>

Hi Denise!  That's a great description, and I compared it with all the
yellowish SDBs that I have in bloom, but it doesn't quite match what I
grow.  My recommendation is to try getting a photo of it that you can post
to the IRIS-PHOTO list.  I've had some unknown irises identified there.
(Though it's not the best way to get an iris identified.)

Do you have any idea how new the iris is?  Is it a recent introduction, or
something that's been growing in your great grandma's garden for the last
100 years?  Knowing approximately how old an iris is can help tremendously
in identifying it.

Good luck!
Dennis in Cincinnati
