The color range of this 
most beautiful native iris 
is almost endless. There 
are innumerable blues, vi- 
olets, purples, pinkish, yel- 
low and red shades. Rich 
evergreen foliage is attrac- 
tive at all times. Height 
is variable from 4 to 12 
inches. The woodland gar- 
den or any soil neutral to 
slightly acid is suitable. 
Light shade is recom- 
mended where hot, dry 
summers prevail. Innomi- 
nata blooms with the in- 
termediate and early tall 
bearded varieties. Two im- 
mense beds of this lovely 
native in full flower were 
the center of attention 
here last year. Plants are 
heavy clumps that will 
produce many flowers the 
first year. Easily grown 
from seed. See page 63.

For the rockery, the woodland garden or any suitable location where low growing flowering plants are 
desired we know of nothing more charming than these delightful Oregon species. Provided their simple 
requirements are satisfied these dainty wildlings will respond with abundant bloom and a long time

Widest spread and best known of our 
native Oregon iris and the easiest of all 
to grow in this group. The type is red 
toned lavender or purple with yellow 
signals. However, where it merges with 
the yellow variety, Gormani intermediate 
shades appear endless, including delicate 
buffs, pinks and blues. Our strain includes 
all of these and many more. Slightly 
larger and taller than innominata and the 
flowers possess splendid form. Requires 
same cultural conditions. Deciduous.
