Can anyone tell me what kind of Iris this is? I can't remember where I even bought it, let alone the name, but everyone wants some of mine and I'd rather tell them where they can get some before I don't have any left! haha
OK, now I can't figure out how to post the picture, but let me desribe it. It is about 3 feet tall, white flowers that are about 6 inches in diameter, and they have a beautiful scent that is more citrus-y than flowery. Sound familiar to anyone? Thanks!

I don't see a place to edit my posting, so I hope this works, replying to my own posting. I measured the tallest stems and they are actually four feet tall. Don't know if that makes much of a difference.....

OK, I'll tell ya how to post a pic, so's we can see this iris that everyone wants, but in payment, I want one of these irises.



Upload your photo to a hosting site, like www.photobucket.com or uploadit.org. Copy the URL of the hosted photo, start a new post here, hit the "IMG" button, paste the URL, then hit the "IMG" button again. All done!

Can you give us a few more details about the flower like - is it entirely white, or is there color on the beard (stubble like rib on the drooping down petals)? Is it very lacy, or more plain? Does it bloom earlier or later than other irises?
There are many, many tall totally white bearded irises. One is "Laced Cotton", which blooms in the mid-late season with very ruffled, fringed, enormous flowers. Approximate height is 37". I have this one in my own collection that is now up to 22 different bearded irises.
Another is "Leda's Lover", which blooms in mid season with ruffled white blooms. Approximate height is 37".
I could list many more, but it would help to have either a photo or more detail.
Hope we can help!

OK AGAIN, the other ones want a password, so I joined photobucket, and this is my last try.

The edges of the petals are a little frilly, and if you open up the flower you will see a tiny bit of lavender color on the very deepest part (not visible unless you look into it). Also there's the beautiful citrus-y scent!

I love Iris' but I don't know the name for this one! Lovely ring by the way.

Thanks! It's actually three rings put together, though.
