'Bellissima' is a Siberian iris...the other irises on the cover are
also Siberians.
Kathy Marble answered the same question about the Jan. cover on
4/7 on the Siberian e-mail robin.
> The irises are 'Shall We Dance' (blue), 'Pas de Deux' and

Pas de Deux is the pale yellow amoena (that appears almost white
in the photo) and Sultan's Ruby is the smallish dark clump behind
Pas de Deux...it is deep red with a bright gold signal and was sold
out this year in its hybridizer's garden. All three Siberians were
hybridized by Bob Hollingworth, BTW.
'Bellissima' is one of many from Bea Warburton.
From the Siberian cheering section,
Ellen
