Daphne, Lake effect is indeed very beautiful. I can't wait until it has made a full clump.
Arlene, your JIs are gorgeous! Do you know the name of the tall lilac purple one (third picture down)? I have a weakness for blue and purple irises!
Shawn, I know where Bellevue Ave is, but I'm not very familiar with Newport and haven't heard of a Lilac Row or Lilac Hedge. I hope you find information about that house. In response to your question, I bought Raspberry Glow from Cascadia Iris Gardens, which shipped me very healthy divisions of Siberian and Japanese irises. I highly recommend them! Raspberry Glow is simply gorgeous. The deep blue wash over the falls is hard to capture on camera but really stunning in person.
