John:

Following is a description I have for I. cyclogossa, but I have no 
experience with it...

"Delightfully fragrant Juno species with up to 9 large clear lilac 
flowers in the leaf axils. They open in succession from top downwards. 
Crest yellow, surrounded by a broad white zone. Standards small, arching 
over the falls, giving the flower a 'flat' appearance. Late flowering, 
in June. Ht. 16-24 inches."

John Bryan's book, Bulbs, indicates, even though a Juno, it still needs 
some summer moisture.
