Title: Regelia Iris ID
Post by: Steve Garvie on May 06, 2015, 09:22:51 PM

This has been languishing in a cold frame for the last 20 years. The faded label suggests it is Iris korolkowii but it doesn't look like the other korolkowii images on the internet.
Any ideas?

Good grief! When you're that good-looking, does it even matter what your name is?  :o :o 8)

Looks like you've nailed it Maggi!
Many thanks!!!

I presume Antiope is a hoogiana hybrid with something?
