Iris week x 3

Posted by Robin on 6 May 2020 8 Comments

We open with irises at Sissinghurst Castle Garden, from 2017. Below the jump, bearded irises blooming this week at the Missouri Botanical Garden's Alice Hahn Goodman Iris Garden, followed by a short film from International Flavors & Fragrances' in-house naturals facility, Laboratoire Monique Rémy, on the French orris harvest (this is a 2016 video that we already posted back in 2017).

    Thanks for posting these videos Robin! My dad was a fan of bearded iris’.
    Years ago, when I was working for a small indie perfume shop in Sarasota, I met a few folks from IFF. Fascinating conversation!

      I actually think it might be more fun to work in the supply chain at IFF than as a perfumer? But I know zippo about either.
