This set of Pacifica irises came to me with names attached, or are specimens of an iris species. |
douglasiana
| I started out with three plants of this species. None have survived (probably they were getting too much water from an adjoining lawn), but a seedling came up and is doing well. Images: whole plant (106 KB), close up (93 KB) |
'Cape Ferrelo'
| A hybrid of I. douglasiana, bought from Siskiyou Rare Plant Nursery. Images: whole plant (108 KB), flower (80 KB) |
| A hybrid developed by the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden. Images: with yellow iris (75 KB), another with yellow iris (73 KB), and another (76 KB), and another (62 KB), with white iris (65 KB), with Sea Gal (65 KB) |
Parade'
| A small plant with short flower stems, but the flowers are among the brightest colored. Images: flower (65 KB), another flower (67 KB), and another flower (72 KB). |
| One of the more commonly available cultivars, with dark red falls, yellow-apricot spots and apricot standards. Images: flower (49 KB) |
| The tallest iris I have, with stems at least two feet tall, bearing ruffled blue flowers. Images: flower (71 KB), another flower (56 KB), and another flower (76 KB), with 'Canyon Snow' (65 KB), and with white iris (86 KB). |
Heart'
| Another commonly found hybrid. Images: flower (67 KB), another flower (72 KB), another flower (73 KB), another flower (67 KB), and with a pale lavender iris (I think the color is wrong on the last photo). (65 KB) |
