Is it Gracchus?

My photo taken in Central Otago garden of Pamela McGeorge.
It is no longer in Oz as far as I know - if any locals know of a source I would love to know.
PS Lesley you do have some fabulous older TBs over there that we don't have here.

I don't think it's 'Gracchus.' Davey's has a fine paler edge round the falls.

I think it is, Pat. You photo matches well with these: http://wiki.irises.org/bin/view/Mtb/MtbGracchus#igp1. I did grow it once, although too long ago for me to claim to "know" it now.
