This is a pretty plant. Where did you get it?
Mine was a bonus from the hybridizers, Brad & Kathie Kasperek (Zebra Gardens).
Very pretty, Puttytat. And what an unusual name. Is there a story behind that?
As far as I know, it's just the tradition of ZEBRA Gardens to give all their "kids" zoological names! For anything more specific, you'd have to ask the Kaspereks.
Thanks for the info, Puttytat. My sister collects anything 'hippo' and they have an iris named after a hippo. She will love it!
