Re: SIB: Which white?


From: "Mark, Maureen" <MARKM@tc.gc.ca>

The only white siberian that I currently grow is FOURFOLD WHITE but that is
because it was my very first named iris.  It is an old reliable iris that is
available at most garden centres here.  If I were to go out now to buy a
white siberian, I would probably buy ESTHER CDM -- it always draws my eye in
a planting of several siberian cultivars.  It is large and has what I call
lilting form.  If that wasn't available, I would go for WHITE SWIRL -- it is
smaller with similar form.

I'm sorry that I can't remember what CDM stands for.  If no one else
replies, I'll have to look it up because I recall reading it somewhere --
either an AIS bulletin or the Siberian newsletter.
