Unidentified Siberian(?) Iris
(I hate it when I lose the tags!)
This Iris grows in a clump next to my pond, in a constantly damp location. It is 18 inches tall, with 3 flowers per spike. Can you help me identify it, please?

Could it be a "Pembina" Siberian Iris?

That iris is gorgeous! I've got a black and blue salvia (Salvia guaranitica) that is "true blue" as well.

Weezie - (I hope you're talking to me... [grin] ) I just planted the black and blue salvia and crocosmia (along with Mexican feather grass and red "Flame" salvia) about 6 weeks ago, and haven't cut any for the house, so I don't know how long a vase life they'll have... but they sure do look purty in my garden.

Yessssssss, I was talkin' [gabby] to you Julie.... [grin] [thumb] [flower]
That is such a striking photo..
They sure do look "purdy" here too...

If you do cut them, let me know how
long they last..

That salvia and crocosmia combo is amazing. I have the crocosmia and I definitely will get the salvia. Thanks

If it ever stops raining here, I'll go out and try to get a last picture of my Forget-me-not. I think it fits in this category!
