2016 Bianco
A splendid free flowering cultivar. Tolerant of wet and cold during winter and very beautiful in the garden. In 2018, after the extremely cold and wet summer 2017, 11 of 17 fans bloomed and this in a less than ideal iris location!

Lost one fan winter 2016/2017 otherwise an extremely strong growing cultivar. Gorgeous color but the stems could be stronger and the flower has poor form.

Iris4U 2017
Received 3 tiny increases that were individually planted. Survived the hard winter 2018 brilliantly, despite small rhizomes and late planting in a poor spot. In the end this turned out to be a wonderful grower, at least on fertile soil. We will see how it works on the sandbeds.

Very healthy and so far an easy bloomer. Small tough rhizomes.
Very good iris, but Absolute Treasure is better, so this one was removed.

Introduced in 1936. Still a stunning iris and a personal favorite
