Two pallida derivative iris that are the latest talls to bloom (May 12 is
my peak, they bloom avg 6 June) are:
'Edina' (Lemon 1840)
'B. Y. Morrison' (Sturtevant 18)
A blue/gray tet that blooms with them: 'Shiloh' (Wills 54). (That should
appeal considering your location!) It does tend to 'snake' a bit.
Cheers,
Mike
