Marte,
I saw Edith Wolford growing and blooming her head off at the Denver
Botanical Gardens this past June. Most iris were labeled there, however
EW was not. I almost took the time to report the name to the office,
but I thought they would not believe me....so I guess it will still be
unlabeled.
Also there are quite a few look alikes out there with Earth Song being
very close.
