Detroit City

This is a late season iris, but well worth the wait. Because it's light colored it stands the heat better.

it is very pretty, like the light purple edging.

Where are the horns or flounces?? It is the last TB in bloom here, but I think it was registered as 'M' in the Checklist. Superstition lists the bloom season as 'L'.

Looks like a double socket terminal?

You're right Walter, they aren't there. Been a strange year.
Both my flatties didn't go flat either.
Iris gal, most of the buds appear to be singles with the exception of the terminal bud.

Beautiful! Love ruffles too.

A terminal really should have two buds as a requisite for introduction. A lot now have three in the terminal and two on the branches. I have not seen Detroit City to be so well branched.
