DaffSeek lists 2 cultivars w/ this name. Scanty info on the second one listing only the year 1946.

This lily was registered in 2004 as 'Champagne Diamond' but was awarded EU PBR 25962 in 2009 as 'Champion Diamond', the accepted name.

I've grown 'Princess Irene' several times before. I usually amend the soil with crushed oyster shells in the soil to deter the critters when planting.

I love seeing the blooms growing in my garden. Gorgeous coloring!

I've seen 'Princess Irene' listed both as a Triumph Tulip and as a Single Early Tulip.

An old standard that does well here in the winter.

White Triumph yields well and is not bothered by the Scurf fungus. It is a white fleshed cultivar and is almost as dry as an Irish potato. I am a devotee of moist potatoes, so I do not care for White Triumph's eating qualities. The roots are uniform baking size and shape.

I bought the mixed Dutch Iris collection from Schreiner's Iris Gardens some years ago and planted it. Apollo was one of the ones that were included. It blooms each spring and is the first of my Dutch irises to bloom.

Evening Drama is another of the lovely tall bearded irises that i purchased from Schreiner's Iris Gardens. It has been doing fabulously in my garden ever since.

Rio Rojo is a star in my iris garden. It increases nicely and has made a big clump. Lots of those stunning dark purple blooms. The first year I had it, I wasn't impressed, but the following year and ever since it has been stunning!

Abbondanza is a very pretty yellow tall bearded iris.

I bought Visiting Royalty from Schreiner's Iris Gardens a few years ago. It has done very well in the garden. Love that dark two tone bloom color of the lovely flowers.

A beautiful all white large cupped cultivar from England.
Can be forced. After forcing may be translocated to garden for bloom in subsequent years.

Short stature and early bloom characteristics make this cultivar a prime candidate for forcing.
