I got this unknown iris from a client. I'm trying to find out what it's called. It's a tall bearded iris, ruffled, yellow/gold standards, yellow/gold falls with a white center and brownish red stippling. Gold/orange beard with a gold streak down the center of the falls. Sweet scent, standard green foliage.

There are 1000's of registered iris so it is nearly impossible to name one from a picture. Having said that I would suggest that you ask this question on the Iris Forum. It is a beauty and I would just enjoy it and not worry about the name

I don't believe in IDing an iris from a picture but I've thought about it and that "looks like" 'Radiant Apogee'. Note that I said "looks like".Just a guess. Concern with serious iris growers is that an iris with an unsure ID not be shared or sold with that name.

Paul, What is that beautiful thing you have in your avitar! Wow, it's cool!

It is a fasciated Zinnia that I saw the other day

drop dead glorious and wish that was how it would always bloom:)

Would that be a goal for a hybridizer?

maybe, do not know enough about anything but iris to hybridize

D

What ever it is, it's a beautiful shade of yellow!

This Iris is Radiant Apogee

Welcome Aquawise. Enjoy the forum.

My first thought was Radiant Apogee also, but more details are needed for a better comparison. Then various contenders can be eliminated or stay in the race. Don't be tempted to accept a name just to accept a name though, be as accurate as possible. Goodluck with the quest.

This is my Iris! it IS Radiant Apogee! I posted it to compare to the pic above. I believe it to is Radiant Apogee. I am no newby in this area.
