ID Help for Miniature Dwarf Bearded Iris

10 years ago

last modified: 10 years ago

I am wondering if anybody has ideas for the ID of this MDB iris. My mother got this one from her next door neighbor over 20 years ago. It blooms extremely early for me (in Zone 7 - Central Maryland). This year it started blooming on March 26th. It is 4-5 inches tall.

Could be "Atroviolacea" a very old iris.

After looking at some photos of "Atroviolacea" at various websites, it does look like a pretty good match. At least as good as you can get looking at internet photos.

Posierosie, I have some available for trade this year - just in case you were interested. ;)

WillowSpring, thanks for the offer. I'm totally interested, but I have no idea how this trade thing works.

To trade, we just need to agree on something to exchange. I think there are some posts on GW about how to package and send the plants. Iris are pretty easy to send.

Here is my trade list:

I am most interested in iris, but am happy to consider other plants as well.

Fell free to send me a private message.
