    I forgot I had this one and I think there may be a couple more of them out there. They were planted in the wrong place for a couple of years, just didn't get enough sun to bloom.

    It smells just a little sweeter than my other Bearded Iris. And it's a rebloomer, should have more blooms in late summer.

    If I remember correctly I ordered it (or them possibly) from Springhillnursery.com
    http://springhillnursery.com/blue-and-w ... e/p/75124/

    I didn't buy all five of them, they were being offered individually or in smaller groups a couple of years ago.

    I arent into Iris .but that color is a winner.

    I did read of the reblooming Iris, but thought with the price and postage, and I might kill it ..
    I better wait.

    an wait an wait.

    Thanks for telling where you found it. I requested the Spring Hill catalog, but I haven't ever ordered anything from them. That might change, though.
