    A classic Louisiana Iris with unusual coppery orange flowers, it is one of the hardiest of the group and a startling sight in the garden. If you want to try Louisiana Iris in the north, this would be a good starting place, it's almost as much fun as gators and Mardi Gras beads, well maybe. ZONE 5
