Margie. The growers should really hire you. What a great dense apricot color. Where did you see this iris?? I can't find it on the net - and you know me, there's not much I can't find!

Hi Doss,

I took this photo in San Diego a few years ago. It was breathtaking. I've never grown it myself.

It can be found here:
http://www.yarrabee.net/Price%20List%20Hells%20Fire.htm
Only - - I'm not sure how updated the site is. I'm not sure who else may carry it.

I hope this helps! :-)

Hearing from you always helps. Yarrabee is in Australia. I'm not that hungry for that cultivar. Maybe when Eureka or Suttons opens it will be there.

(LOL) You're right John, Maybe we can have lunch when we meet in Australia to pick up a few. It truly is lovely - and delicious.

We do not have very good luck with Blyth irises here in Manitoba. WE really need spring dug TBs which are difficult to find.

Wonder if Laurie in MN has better luck.
