Me too. I have a picture of it in my memory, and the only things I
would change, if indeed what I have is CS, are:
1) The standards are open. They actually point AWAY from the flower.
The standards are also quite ruffled.
2) The falls are pink (almost peachy) fading to a rim of white.
Is this how Coral Strand grows for anyone else? It is one of the 3
irises that my mom is SURE she knows the names for.
PS~if anyone grows MIRROR MIRROR, email me privatley, please.
