Visitors have referred to Baby Shower as a miniature Winter Oympics and well they might, since it contains many of the characteristics of that iris as well as being a near relative. Four branches and terminal and the bottom branch is often rebranched. The rhizomes are small and low growing in keeping with the height. No. 62-34B: (First Courtship) X (Poet's Dream). $15.00 |
