Some LA Iris

Ensata Iris = Japanese Iris. :-)

Yes. Ensata is it. And they are mostly Japanese Iris, but they have now bred a zone 5 LA Iris. I found out about it when one of our regulars (JoanF?) pointed out their fabulous sale a couple of weeks ago. I looked around at the rest of their stock and they have introduced a new LA Iris for Michigan. It has Michigan in its name. I think it is new this year.
Check out the Ensata web site.
Then I read, on this forum, recently, that some person was growing LA iris in zone 4. The recommended anything bred by Chowning which includes the very popular Black Gamecock.
Search back through the last 3 months or so of Iris Forum threads and find them.
I paid attention because I was thinking of trying them in New Mexico ( high altitude). Recently though our zone has been reduced from zone 5 to zone 6. That gives me even more options. Perhaps you, too.

:-) Yes, Doss, Ensata = Japanese iris. I have about 80 now so I know them well.

I said "Ensata" because parjaritomt was looking for the name of a catalog starting with the letter E.

LOL I wondered if you had lost your marbles, pirl. I knew that you knew that, so I don't know why I actually answered what I took as a question.

A really nice lavender late bloomer here.

That is such a lovely lavender color!
This is Prix D'elegance. Yum.

Doss - I have that one, too. Now I have something to really look forward to seeing.

You'll love it! It's a huge flower too. Bigger the second year.

So glad I gave it a place of honor.

Hope that it's at the back of the bed. It's almost as tall as I am.

Eek! It's at the front. Thanks for mentioning it.
