Tom Murray asked about
scented iris. There are so many varieties that have scent of one
"flavor" or another. I can only speak about some TBs, which is
the reason I put the heading on here that I did. Real "grapey"
scent in a couple old luminatas, ALADDIN'S WISH (Murawska, 1943) and PRETTY
PANSY (Sass, 1955 I think). Schreiner's CRINOLINE (sometime in the '60s, I
think) also has the sweet scent of Concord grapes. But this only is a
slight scratch on the surface. Libby Cross has a large list available at a
modest cost, a list of many fragrant iris that includes what the fragrance
is. She has been on this list, I think still is. If you want her
e-mail address, please let me know off-list.
The garden near Princeton, IL, is Hornbaker
Gardens, RR #4, Box 235A, Princeton, IL, 61356. Ph. (815) 659-3282.
They'll send you a list of what they have, and it may well note the fragrances
of at least some of the iris. They also have a hosta and a daylily
list. Great place to visit, too.
