This iris is listed by Mid-America Iris at Mid-Late bloomer. It bloomed before one SDB and several IB's. It has a fragrance to die for and gilt-rims really sets it apart. I highly recommend this one!

Hybridizer's Comment:
Yes, you'll smell the Stolen Sweets of this very fragrant iris with a little whiff of citrus coupled with a little sweet talcum powder. It is a lovely fragrance. Satiny, heavily ruffled cold white flowers are decorated with narrow, bright yellow lacy edges and hafts. Bright neon orange beards draw you closer to enjoy the perfume. Growth is robust giving show stalks with 3-4 branches and 10-12 buds. Stolen Sweets is a real show stopper in clump.
Enjoy!
