Beautiful Hardy Irises German Iris - Fleur de Lis German Irises are all sun lovers and delight in a well drained situation. They are all deliciously fragrant, large and handsome, more or less beautifully mottled in the "Standards" and veined in the "Falls," while the beard; range from delicate primrose to orange. Their beauty at first sight rivals that of the Orchid, but, on closer exam- ination, we have no hesitation in saying they yield points of interest not to be found in the whole of the Orchid family. In colors there are the richest yellows, the most intense purples and delicate blues, the softest mauves and very beautiful claret-reds. There are also whites, and primroses, and bronzes of every imaginable shadeâ indeed, language fails us in picturing all the beauties of this flower, and our descriptions, in consequence, fall far short of the reality. Those who have not used these Irises for surrounding lakes and ponds, or cultivated them in the flower borders, shrubberies, woodland walks, and wild gardens, should do so. If planted around ponds or lakes they should be placed well above the water level. "S" refers to the three standard, or upright curling petals: "F to falls or drooping petals.
