Thank you for the reply and the site...it certainly does look like the same iris "Frontier Lady". I have posted this on other parts of the forum and some think it may also be a champagne elegance iris. There is actually a garden club meeting tonight and I printed off the photo and will take it along. Thank you again for your help. Have a great day.

Looks like an asiatic lily but don't know the variety. Try looking at some lily galleries to see if you can match it. www.plantlilies.com www.lilynook.mb.ca

You are free to disagree all you want but it doesn't change the facts. Lythrum salicaria is one of the top 10 invasive species in both this country and Canada. It is listed as an invasive species in 47 of the 48 contiguous states and in all the bordering Canadian provinces. It is also illegal to grow, sell or distribute the species and any garden cultivars of the species in 17 states. It is not that it 'could escape' or 'could pollinate' - it does, and that fact has been well established. They are all the same plant - it's just that selections were made for garden cultivation with the assumption that the seeds they produced were sterile. This has been determined to be false. Garden cultivars are just as likely to produce fertile seeds as their wild cousin and the seeds will not necessarily come true to form. In other words, they can revert. And that fact is behind the prohibition of any named cultivars in states that restrict or prohibit sales. One of the issues that always seems to stir up discontent about the validity of invasive species is that it is often not obvious in a garden setting that they are invasive so the assumption is made they are not. This is a fallacious assumption. Each plant of Lythrum can produce as much as 2.7 million tiny seeds which are easily dispersed by wind and water. They can travel great distances, land on moist soil, overwinter and then germinate. As they prefer moist/wet conditions, infestations disrupt wetlands and waterways and alter ecological conditions, overwhelming native plantings and altering habitat and food sources for wildlife. Forget-me-nots and orange daylilies are not considered invasive because they do not cause ecological or economic harm, which is a major factor in the definition of an invasive species and is the criteria purple loosestrife meets with open arms. Annual control costs, loss of habitat and disruption of agricultural crops run into the millions of dollars. Vinca and English ivy are considered invasive in some areas and certain regulations apply to them as well. There are so any other great garden plants that pose no threat to the environment that it just doesn't make sense nor is it very responsible to persist in growing what is one of the most significantly invasive plant species we have to deal with.

Khalid: Still don't know what's your red-striped rose. HMF stated that red-intuition has semi-glossy foliage & almost thornless. HMF is wrong on fragrance many times, like stating Versigny is moderate fragrance, but in my alkaline clay that fruit scent is strongest among the 100+ varieties I grew. Some folks report strong scent on Red Intuition. Plus your Centifolia-rootstock (good in secreting acid) can change the colors of your roses. Red intuition is the closest match among the many striped-roses I checked. Pinterest has a vast collection of pics for striped roses: https://www.pinterest.com/allaboutrose/striped-roses/ For any info., google inside Pinterest to get instant pictures: To find what are the Meilland roses (French-bred, dark-green leaves that like hot climate & alkaline soil), type Meilland rose in the search box of Pinterest, and you'll get: https://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=Meilland%20rose&rs=typed&0=Meilland%7Ctyped&1=rose%7Ctyped To find what are heat-tolerant roses, type that in search box on Pinterest, and you'll get: https://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=heat%20tolerant%20roses&rs=typed&0=heat%7Ctyped&1=tolerant%7Ctyped&2=roses%7Ctyped To find what are multiflora-roses (like acidic & loamy soil and rainy climate), type that in Pinterest and you'll get: https://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=multiflora%20rose&rs=typed&0=multiflora%7Ctyped&1=rose%7Ctyped To find roses for shade, type that in Pinterest and you'll get: https://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=roses%20for%20shade&rs=typed&0=roses%20for%20shade%7Ctyped Plus any topics & travels, the pics. in Pinterest are more organized than google-search-engine of Images.
