Laurie is right these are a great interim iris between SDBs and TBs medium height most but not all are infertile
as they are a cross between SDBs and TB as a rule.
Wonderful colors etc
A lot of the older irises that were considered tall bearded in their day have also be relegated to this group
This is Amas 1885
Apache Warrior
Apple Blossom Pink
This is Azap
Bedtime Story
Now you all KNOW that there is one stalk per rhizome. This one often has multiples per rhizome I used her alot last spring to try and get some seeds no luck yet
Cherry Supreme
Cinnamon Flash
Concertina
Country Dance
Crimson King 1893
Eleanor Roosevelt
Oh, such a beautiful collection!
Interesting that these have been around a long time and we didn't realize it. Amas is very old, I know. Eleanor Roosevelt as well. I hope to try some of these as well.
