<< You may not find it in too many catalogues as it is an older variety of
iris.
It is a Border Bearded Iris... JUNGLE SHADOWS (Sass-Graham 1960)
I grow it in my garden and although the Roberts put up a REAL nice photo of
it
it looks even better in real life! >>
Actually, this is one of the most widely grown of the historic irsises and is
readily available in commerce. Aside from being very striking it is tough and
is a very stong increaser when happy. Among the HIPS Commercial Sources that
stock this iris are Winterberry Gardens, Newburn's, Lorraine's, Superstition,
Bluebird Haven, and Mill Creek Gardens. I expect there to be more listings for
this when more catalogs come in. But, for now, here are some addresses.
