Can someone please help me ID what type of Iris this is?
Such a snaky stem on the bud.
Thanks! Ann

I have no clue, Ann. It will be interesting to see what responses you get!

Agree with Evan, as always. John Wood is a common one, to start your search, and it comes out twisty like yours. Don't know if it has PBF, though.

When Gerald Darby bloomed last year I went photo hunting for purple stems. I bet a mature clump is a sight.

It bloomed today!
What do you think? The Iris is more purple than the picture shows.
Thanks. Ann
