My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

scented iris

21 years ago

When I was a child my mother had a bed or Bearded Iris. This was about 40 years ago. You could smell them from the sidewalk. I have bought several Iris myself but none are very scented. Even the ones sold as historic highly scented don't seem to have as much scent as I remember and I have to get right up next to them to smell them.

What is a good source for highly scented Bearded Iris? It is time consuming to browse each description of the various catalogs and then still be disappointed with the results.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
