Received two Iris in a swap from Gringo, but I mixed them up and didn’t know which was which until they bloomed. They finally did in May 2012. This was Tiger Honey, which I had originally planted near the far right side in the back near the Lavender. It became too crowded in that area. In early May 2012, I dug these out and planted half on each side of the steps. Only one small bloom after that trauma just before blooming.
TIGER HONEY (Kasperek 94 USA) EM 38" Standards are butterscotch with random golden yellow streaks. Falls are butterscotch with caramel stripes on golden yellow ground, and off white streaking. Beards are butterscotch. Lightly laced, ruffled. No two flowers are the same. Well branched. (Desert Realm X Maria Tormena)
