This dramatic pale ivory spider often gets a “wow what’s that?” from visitors. The pale cream petals are brushed with gold that spreads into the bright gold throat, and seems to glow in the dark. The spider ratio is 4.40:1 and the petals can twist like many spiders do, but it also has a rippled edge that is almost toothy.It is 38 inches (97 cm) tall with a 7 inch (18 cm) flower. An early/mid season rebloomer; it is a dormant, diploid with 13 buds on 3 branches.
This lovely lily is cream with a blue violet eye that fades gradually to a lighter shade before meeting the chartreuse throat. Registered at 22 inches(56 cm) with a bloom that is 5 inches(13 cm), but for us she is not that big, allowing her to comfortably hang out at the front of the border. A mid season blooming, evergreen, tetraploid with 8 buds on 1 branch.

Although Mrs. Andrist is registered as a tall bearded iris she is really the size of an intermediate at just 20 inches.Many of these historic irise
s were shorter back then.She is an amoena (a color classification) that has pure white standards above purple falls, reticulated with white, including a white edge on the falls.The beard is sunny yellow.Share her often as she is a fast grower and also has the bonus of being fragrant.Originally listed in Mr. Fryer’s catalog from his business, Landsdown Farm, in Mantorville MN, in 1922.

Although these gentleman brought this beautiful white Siberian Iris into production I have found references to it being around long before that.Perhaps hundreds of years.It is a tall 30 to 36 inches although it can be shorter in poor soil.It has large lightly ruffled pure white flaring falls on rigid stems.It blooms a little later than the other Siberian iris and its wider falls make it appear almost likeJapanese iris.The foliage remains upright and green throughout the summer and turns a beautiful bronze color after frost.Looks a lot like Snow Queen but it has a little larger flower and is taller.

This historic miniature tall bearded iris is a sport of Honorabile. It was originally registered as TB but today is considered MTB. The standards are both white and yellow but are irregularly splotched and streaked, with no two being the same pattern.The falls too can differ in their color and pattern but are usually splashed with yellow, purple, and red; the coat of many colors. This type of pattern is called a “broken” pattern. The beards are lemon yellow.It stands about 20 inches tall and is a mid-season bloomer. Although it has been around since the 1930’s it was not introduced until 1989 by A. Katkamier. It is a fast grower and is very hardy. This iris was mixed up while naming in the 30’s with Kaleidoscope.That one also has a broken pattern but is a little more yellow in general. For this reason you will sometimes see it called Joseph’s coat Katkamier.
Love you is a very pale pink, near white in color, with lightly ruffled edges and a cream colored mid rib.What makes it a standout is the intense green throat that spreads into a chartreuse halo.The plant is a dormant tetraploid.It blooms mid-season and is very fragrant.On a side note; there are many daylilies with Love You in the name that are different than this plant.Love You is a good one for the moon garden.
Huckleberry Candy is much like the others in the Candy series.It is a dormant tetraploid that is 20 inches tall, with a 4.25 inch flower, that blooms early to mid-season.It is cream to light peach with a violet blue watermark that spreads into a fuchsia eyezone above a chartreuse throat.Prominent cream colored mid ribs, a lightly ruffled edge and diamond dusting complete the picture.
This one really is pretty white, with a light ruffle.If anything maybe a hint of green, or perhaps a reflection of the green throat.A mid-season blooming dormant, diploid; it is 28 inches tall.Usually it starts blooming on Father’s Day.It is listed at 6 inches, but is really more like a little over 5 for me; bright clean star shaped flowers.
This ivory beauty has a green throat and light ruffles.She is a staple in the moon garden.She has an extended bloom period which means blooms last into the evening.A dormant tetraploid; this 23 inch tall plant has 5 1/2 inch blooms.It is list
ed as ivory but really it depends on the light sometimes it looks pale yellow and sometimes pale pink. It really stands out in the dark, with contrasting black anthers.
A historic iris, being the first of its kind – a yellow siberian.
This Siberian iris has creamy white standards and butter yellow falls. They are about 28 inches tall and bloom like crazy in between the time when the bearded iris and the daylillies are blooming. They enjoy moist soil but will do fine in a garden setting. Hardy to zone 3 they are attractive to butterflies but resistant to deer and rabbits and will mature to a large flowering clump in a few years.
