I am stumped I have been searching and not having any luck in locating a possible ID for this iris. It was given to me by a sweet neighbor lady who is no longer here to ask her for the name again.
It's blooming right now and has been for almost a week The beard is orange, standards start out a pinkish color then change to a peach, inside the standards is a peachy orange-ish color that gets lighter as days go by . The falls are an orangish yellow up by the standards with a white patch at the beard and the purplish pink from the sides down and no purple foliage.
Top picture is when it first opens....bottom picture is 2 days later Ideas? thought on how I should search with the colors?

Hi Phyllis! What a pretty iris to remember your neighbor by. How tall is it? I don't recognize it, but I don't grow a lot of irises. Someone else here is bound to know it. Smiling

The closest match I can find is Cheyenne Sky but I don't think it is a match. The pink highlights look more splotchy on your iris.

Thanks for the replies ..It's about 24 inches tall so maybe its an intermediate?
iciris that's very pretty and I agree not the same as mine
It maybe just a NOID
...am going to relocate all the noids to their own spot LOL so I can keep everything some what separate to know what is where as I am being blessed with an iris garden from a wonderful couple in July
