John:
Following is a description I have for I. cyclogossa, but I have no
experience with it...
"Delightfully fragrant Juno species with up to 9 large clear lilac
flowers in the leaf axils. They open in succession from top downwards.
Crest yellow, surrounded by a broad white zone. Standards small, arching
over the falls, giving the flower a 'flat' appearance. Late flowering,
in June. Ht. 16-24 inches."
John Bryan's book, Bulbs, indicates, even though a Juno, it still needs
some summer moisture.
