Iris spuria "Caitlin's Smile"

Dear Peter,
If the iris you refer to is 'Caitlin's Smile' then it is

'Caitlin's Smile' (James Waddick by Kevin Morley). This means
it is my seedling, but named and registered by Kevin.

This is a pure Iris typhifolia, a relatively newly
introduced Siberian Iris species, not a spuria iris. It received an
Award of merit in 2011. Incidentally both Kevin and I have daughters
named Caitlin. It blooms very early.

Hope you are enjoying it. Best Jim W.
