Just Added VIOLET INSOLE'S Irises'. She was From Wales, UK the ancient homeland of Merlin. She Created DOGROSE our very favorite pink historic iris. It's fragrance is of heavenly perfume.. kind of a lily of the valley to vanilla fragrance/scent. Amazing Height at having 48'' tall scapes. Basically a true pink pallida to grow among the lavender blue palllida dalmatica sweet iris. It is Magic. 'Golden Flare' is one we dont grow that is a beautiful glowing bronze tinge and 'Jane Austin' a Cream to white is still thought to possibly be in existence. Only 3 of Her Registered ones left then apparently..glad i have Dogrose it brings alot of joy here. a shame 'Queen of Sheba' is no longer thought to be in existence as it was supposed to be like Sambucina or Gypsy Queen on Steroids and Incredible height and bud count. So Out of only 12 registered ones she created which are now all in plantfiles.. i guess 3 left 90 years later is a pretty good legacy.
