Another historic iris from 1612 that smells like grape koolaid is Swerti. It is the oldest cultivated for sale iris. The stalks are tall with lots of blooms but the flowers are on the smaller size. Good grower and bloomer, it is sterile. Probably why it is still here today.

Niki--Thanks for the info on New Face. I was given that as a substitute this year. Can not wait to smell it!
May this month bless you with good fortune!

One to take to heart....1 John 4 ..............................................Where there is smoke...there is fire...in most cases the smoke will kill you long before the fire consumes you. Beware of smoke screens! Freedom is not free and when those who have not paid the price or made the sacrifice...think that only they are right and entitled to speak...they bring us tryanny.
