Junos and Reticulatas 
The Irises of this group are particularly unusual and very beautiful. Their colors are unique and 
the effect of the corn-like foliage after blooming is fine. In addition, they are all very sweetly 
scented, perfuming that entire part of the garden, and are very early, blooming with the crocus 
or just after. They are bulbs and are very easy to grow; merely plant them in a well drained soil 
and after that they almost take care of themselves.
