This iris simply glows when backlit by late afternoon sun. I planted one rhizome, and in the plant’s first season, it put up three bloom stalks and grew so vigorously that I was able to separate the rhizomes and place one-half in another bed. Definitely a keeper, with enough left over to share.

This gorgeous iris comes to us from Australian hybridizer, Barry Blyth. This is probably my favorite of his irises. It gets raves from the neighborhood here. Nice looks, blooms well, and grows and multiplies easily. Overwinters here without harm.
