Louisiana Iris 'Jeri'


Unless I'm mistaken about where I planted things (and I don't think I am, in this case), the Louisiana iris I bought last year that was supposed to be 'Sinfonietta' (more bluish in color) has turned out to be 'Jeri'-- which is the variety I already owned.  This is annoying, because while I like 'Jeri', I really wanted to try another variety.  It just goes to show that even when you buy in person at a botanical garden plant sale, you have no guarantee of what you're getting, unless the plant is in bloom at the time of purchase.  Oh well, the extra pot of 'Jeri' will still add years of lovely flowers to the garden.  They'll just be a different shade of purple than I was expecting.

The new Louisiana irises I bought on sale online ('Ann Chowning' and 'Black Gamecock', if there wasn't a mix-up) are doing well.  They won't bloom this year-- maybe not even next-- but they look healthy and happy.  I'm satisfied!  Here's one piece out of several:
