Bob,

Thanks for the summary and notes on species of the Genus Isis.

Can you tell us what the difference or differences are between Iris
cretensis (I. unguicularis ssp. cretensis) and I. carica ( I unguicularis
ssp. carica.) Their ranges overlap and they seem similar. What separates
them?

Fred
2500 ft. elevation, central Sierra Nevada foothills, zone 7, where Iris
unguicularis does very well and is now in fragrant bloom.
