Title: Iris identification please
Post by: David Dickinson on September 17, 2015, 01:34:57 AM
I had this Iris for one year, 2 years ago - when the flower photo was taken. It didn't survive but I now have a new tuber from my sister's garden in Leeds where it does very well. If at first ... etc. Knowing what it is might increase my chances. The base of the leaves is blue as seen on the new tuber. Any help gratefully received. I think it could be some hybrid of Iris virginica/versicolor.

Whilst sorting out some old papers I came across a slip of paper with the name of the Iris below. It is Iris "Gerald Darby". When my sister sent me a piece she wrote it down for me. I lost the piece of paper and the magpies stole her yellow label and so neither of us could remember the name of the plant.
