Identifying Reblooming White Iris Varieties: 'Winter Wonderland', 'Clouds Adrift', 'Skating Party'

Q: My mother has a white iris that bloomed in spring and again in September and December! What variety?

Mark Franklin, iris expert at MP Flowers (Birmingham Hwy., Alpharetta), says it could be 'Winter Wonderland', 'Clouds Adrift', or 'Skating Party'. The Georgia Iris Society (www.gairis.org) has regular sales and shows. Shop around.
