Re: Fwd: [iris-species] Can you identify this species?

Hi Ellen, I'm not sure how to put this image of Snow Prince into the 
body of the e-mail like the image Mike sent.  This is an image of Snow 
Prince which according to Sarah Tiffney is I. sibirica Grandis x self 
if I remember right.  You can see similarities between it and Mike's 
plant.  The outstanding feature of Mike's plant is its intense purple 
area in the fall haft.  I think the difference between his flower and 
Snow Prince is variation within the species.  Marty

   This was on the species-iris list on Yahoogroups. Can anyone hazard a 
guess? Ellen Gallagher

Just in case anyone missed this on the iris-photos group:

After my 'open garden' two years ago a very nice lady dropped off a
small clump of this iris and wanted me to identify it. I thought it was
a siberian, but she insists it cannot be that. Seeing it now I am
inclined to agree with her. I've never seen a sib with purple in the
throat before. However, it has been suggested again that it is a
siberien - can anyone confirm that? In this pic it's about 14" high,
but the other bloom stalks are up to 17" now. The flowers are dainty,
off-white, purple in the throat and gold on the hafts. There are 3-4
four buds at the top of the stalk (which is hollow), and no branches.
The foliage is very similar to a siberian, not thick and tough like a
PCI. I grow a dozen PCIs and they all have a similar, tough texture to
the foliage - this one does not have that texture. I really like it,
and would love to put a name on the species - or species cross? It's
unlike any other I grow. Appreciate any input!
