Beautiful light pink. Wonderful stems with early thru late bloom. Another Woodside winner!! $25.00. Sierra Vista Iris Garden. |
I think there can be too much lace on an iris, and WINGS OF DREAMS overdoes it. It is a pleasing shade of pink, blooms very early, and grows vigorously. It also sets seed pods like crazy.
