How nice! I planted this iris, and hopefully I will see it bloom for the first time this spring if spring ever comes up this way.
Remy

Very pretty! Hope you keep taking pictures as they bloom.

Shadow

Thank you Remy and Shadow.

What this iris lacks in substance it makes up for in fragrance and color.

A couple more pictures of Crimson King:

This is one of the first to bloom for me as well. However, it has nothing going for it other than the fragrance. The stalks are short and the bloom lacks substance, droops badly. I think it will go in the trash heap.

I love it. This year at last I'll be able to tell if the noid I got in Chapel Hill is the same as this one.

Beautiful photos of a beautiful variety. The historics will always have a place in my garden.

Brock

Thank you Brock. I love the old historics too. They have a beauty and grace that is different from modern iris.
