Bearded Iris, Dwarf

From Ken Walker's Garden 


The dwarf bearded iris are hybrids with Iris pumila in their background. That species likes cold winters and dwarf bearded iris perform better in cooler climates. Mine bloomed much better than usual in 1999, perhaps because we had an exceptionally cold winter for this area with several nights in a row in the lower 20's (about -5° C).
I have not kept track of the names of many of the dwarf bearded iris that I have, but I have labels on some of them.
