Hello All,
I'm confused. Iris germanica - Is this a species as the presentation of
the name in both the '39 CL and in the photo gallery on the HIPS site
would indicate, or is it, as is stated in TWOI, a hybrid intermediate of
unknown origin which has been assigned the *cultivar* name 'Germanica'?
If 'Germanica' (cultivar name) is correct, has that correction been made
in any CL since '39? Or is the info in TWOI (pgs. 13-14) incorrect or
misleading ... or just being misinterpreted by me?
Is it correctly I. germanica in italics (species) or Iris 'Germanica'
(cultivar)?
Thank you in advance for any clarification.
Laurie
