I also wondered about the unreadable post.......:-) I've grown this iris - both the straight species and the variegated form - for years in my former garden. In my climate, it is typically recommended for dry shade locations, which makes it a rather handy plant for a tough planting situation, but it can also be grown in quite a lot of sun. This is not necessarily an iris to be grown for its flower effect. It is not very showy. The flowers are a pale mauve color, usually with yellow markings, and are often held within the tall foliage (evergreen in my climate) and can easily pass notice. The variegated form is also a very reluctant bloomer - I think I had only one or two flowers on a clump that was easily 15 years old. But the everpresent, clean, upright variegated foliage was a handsome addition to my shade garden anyway. The big attraction with this iris - at least the green form - is its seedheads. Seedpods form after the flowers fade and mature during the summer and early fall. In late fall, they split open to reveal big clusters of bright red-orange 'berries' that remain present throughout the winter. In my garden these seeds would eventually be dispersed by the dogs or wind, etc. and I'd have seedling irises popping up here and there. In culture, this iris is most similar to Siberians or some of the other beardless species iris. It is slow to develop and expand but it divides easily, although the fleshy root system of a mature clump is heavy and massive. I recently moved to a new, mostly shaded garden and I am kicking myself that I didn't take any starts of this plant with me - it's not that easy to find. Propagation is often limited because of a rust that plagues it, especially the variegated form, although I have never had any issues with it in that regard. In fact, the foliage IME stays pretty much unblemished - even slugs don't bother it. Here is a link that might be useful: GPP - Iris foetidissima 'Variegata'
