Now I'm going to ask what is probably a real neophyte question. What is
the R & I?
Thanks Jean for the description of Royal Tara. I like the heat and drought
tolerant part, plenty of both in central NM. If I see it listed for sale,
I'll probably get one now. I don't think I have any cream colored Iris,
though I have a few pale yellows that are sometimes said to be cream. Of
course descriptions are a bit off sometimes. I have a near red that is
officially described as a "blue blend" (if I remember correctly). Yet
everyone sells the near red under that name (can't think which one it is
off hand). I've always wondered if there was a switch made sometime, and
the plant for sale is not the one registered. Now I'm really changing the
subject, so I'll stop for the moment.
