  Okay Folks  I'm gonna post this one more time. It would seem that people are
  not reading their mail or their mail is not getting through. I posted this
  yesterday.

  <<Vickie......what do you mean by a "snow iris"?>>

  I suspect that the lady is referring to I. unguicularis. To quote Brian
  Mathew's  "The Iris", page 129, ".....delightful primrose-scented lavender
  flowers in winter, from November to February."   Mathew lists ten
  varieties - the most popular/well-known (my selection) are Walter Butt and
  Mary Barnard. It will quite often bloom through the snow.

  There is also white form known as I. unguicularis "Alba" which is, no doubt,
  what Vickie has.
