As I continue my quest to identify, locate and acquire all the most intensely fragrant iris cultivars, I'm asking for your help…
As your gardens enter bloom season this year would you be kind enough to check each cultivar for fragrance? What I'm looking for isn't 'just' fragrance. I'm looking for 'intense' fragrance, but not of the 'stray tom cat' variety.
I'm also attempting to build an online iris fragrance reference source. I'd love it if you would be willing to post your iris fragrances there. Just go to
https://www.fragrantiris.com/f...
Full disclosure: This is my retail website but that link will bypass everything and take you straight to the forum where I'm collecting fragrance descriptions.
I realize everyone experiences fragrance a bit differently so please, just give me your honest, personal perception of those irises with pleasant, intense fragrance that you encounter.
It would be helpful if you could provide details such as the cultivar name, your location or growing zone, the date, maybe even the time of day or weather conditions. Anything you think might impact your results.
In time I hope this will help folks in two ways; 1) if they're searching for fragrant irises they'll know which cultivar will meet their needs and 2) this could be a terrific resource for helping identify NOIDs.
Please title your post with the name of the cultivar you're describing. If someone has already started a post for that cultivar, please add your description to that post.
And, if you could add an image, that would be helpful as well.
Thank you in advance!
Randy
