This iris was on a farm my parents owned - from an old iris bed from years ago. It has white standards and reddish purple falls. It has the most outstanding sweet fragrance. Can you identify this iris? Thanks!

I agree, what ever it is, it sure is a beauty.
I'm pretty new hear myself, so let me "hi" to the both of you.

Check out some photos and descriptions of Folkwang(Goos&Koenemann 1925) on the AIS wiki, and the HIPS site. May be a good starting place....Arlyn

The Historic Iris Society has a picture gallery that may offer help in identifying your Iris,
