IMPOSTER!!!: The photos of this iris are all incorrect according to the Historic Iris Preservation Society(HIPS). Further research needs to be done to determine if there is a name to this. It is very pretty though. One of the sources of this iris came from the Rebert Collection in Westminster, MD and is being passed around as 'Snow Velvet'. David Potembski, HIPS 03/19/2024.
