Could I point out a wee small error in provenance info, i.e. # 19 the location in New Foundland is Cape Fear, [with good reason to the earlier mariners] NOT Cape Spear. I have this taxon here and it is a lovely and floriferous iris growing to about 30-40 cms planted with me in virtually pure sand, the clump originally of three plants vegetatively increases rather slowly = well behaved, but seeds around quite prolifically = not well behaved if the subject of weeding becomes a trial. This iris will take any level of cold thrown at it, didn't blink at -26C. Iain -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter. We are a community of 5.7 million users fighting spam.
