Orchid Irises

I just saw these in a catolog tonight. They look neat. Has anyone tried them? What are you thoughts about them?

Alyssum, do they give a Latin name for them?

Iris Histrioides
There are some on this page -- just scroll down:

I love the pictures in the link. Last year I planted some Dutch Iris that were spectacular, and might try some of these orchid iris next year.

Dutch Iris:

Thanks for the link. Iris h. are new to me. They seem similar to the Dutch Iris, which are easy and very early. They did not return for me, however. I think the I. h. look beautiful and unusual, and well worth trying. John

I have the katherine hodgkin they preformed beautifly. I planted last fall and they bloomed this spring. Came through zone 6 winter with flying colors.
