Well, I guess that proves once and for all that my gorgeous blue iris that
smells like a honeysuckle is not TITAN'S GLORY. Thanks to everyone for the
info. I'll look into the possibility of HONKY TONK BLUES and other irises.
I intend to call in the local expert, Dr. Jay Holcomb (horticulture prof. at
Penn State) who goes to meetings with me. Since this iris probably came
from his garden (he gave lots of rhizomes to my neighbor who gave some to
me) he should have some idea of what it is (I hope)! Thanks again for the
help and info.
The first Siberian, an unknown blue from an old lady's garden (she's the
reason I love irises and daylilies) bloomed today. Nice to know that even
when our weather here in PA is really dismal, flowers still bloom (even
though Paul and I wilt).
