received one from Schreiner's that looks just like the ones that are pictured.
I think it is Eleanor Roosevelt because the decription I read which states "
Dark purple, white beard, very vigorous and a prolific rebloomer. Blooms late
March to early April and again late October to November. It is that color, it
reblooms each year, just now they are putting stalk up. Does anyone know
where I might find a picture of Roosevelt.(Sass-McDade 1933 AM37) >>
Mike,
It is nearly impossible to identify most irises from a photograph alone and
HIPS strongly urges people not to try to do so lest they add to the enormous
amount of confusion surrounding the identities of hundreds of irises, modern
and historic alike. People always tend to consider their own unknown the
exception to this rule, so we reiterate it at every opportunity.
However, to answer your question, there is a photograph of ELEANOR ROOSEVELT,
