Unexpected from this variety, which is not listed as a fall bloomer, yet is most welcome. Gay Paree (Plough, 1954)
From Schreiner's Iris Lover's catalog for 1960: "This flashy, highly colored, carnival-like flower is a piquant iris that will illuminate your garden. A snowy white floret with an overlay of chartreuse and gold on the upper part of the falls and a heavy geranium-red beard. Sparkling."
Great fragrance too. Lots of blooms to come if frost holds off. Anyone else have rebloomers going?
