I have Kwanso daylilies. Would love some white iris. I have a couple other items on my trade list as well if you're interested. Here is a link that might be useful: trade list

I have what I think is White City. Introduced in the 30s, I remember my mother getting some divisions of it in the late 60s. I have some from her garden that I moved last year from my old house to my new. Last April I pulled some plants from the house I had for sale put in some plastic grocery bags and set it beside the sidewalk at my new house. Before I could get them planted life got very complicated and it was September when they were finally pulled out of the bag and planted. This spring they looked pretty good, but I yanked one out and moved it to the other side of the garden. Currently they are all blooming even the one transplanted 2 months ago. I don't think I can kill it. White City has big blooms and is very tall--the current blooms are 42". It doesn't have all the frilly frufru edges most modern iris seem to have, just a big simple and elegant bloom. It's my favorite. Here is a link that might be useful: Heirloom

My uncle gave me a bunch of those in the pictures. He had so many of them that he tried to get rid of them by diging up the rhizomes and throwing the clumps into the woods thinking they would dry out. They rooted and grew and spread in the woods. He gave a lot to me last year... they sat in buckets and it looked like they were comepletely dead. I planted them a month or so after I got them and they lived and are huge this year. I am thinking about planting some around the 5 acre pond behind my house to grow around the water and hold some of the dirt in. They seem impossible to kill.

Thank you both for your replies. I believe the iris is the I. albicans. They have really been suffering down here this year. The drought is probably the reason I only got one bloom (- 7 inches of rain for the year and counting) as they have bloomed better for me in the past. These are the only iris I have been able get to survive at all. Could not even get the foliage to survive on the other bearded types I have tried since the move. Had a backyard of bearded iris up in Fort Worth so have tried several times to get some to grow. Thank goodness for the daylily... Barb
