FTG103 - Vanilla Iris - There was a vacant field behind the house where I used to live. I noticed some iris plants growing a few years back, but the owner would come through with a brush hog and mow them down long before they had a chance to bloom. I caught him one day and asked his permission to dig them up. They had already been mowed, so I still didn't know what color of iris they were. This spring (2005) was the first time I got to see them bloom. They are a rich creamy color, too dark to really be called a cream, so I would have to call them vanilla.
