Mary Ann- Blue Fin is more blue than purple...but depending on the light it can have a lavender cast to it. Still it's more on the blue side.

High on my wish list for a possible bonus from Iris Sisters is one more nice blue in the sea/ocean/wave/river theme:

Adriatic Waves (photos from Iris Sisters & AIS wiki)


If I don't get it as a bonus I'll buy one next year. It was listed for $7 at Superstition this year...but they sold out!

Y'all are killing me, you know how much I like the blues, gorgeous photo's, some of these I have but now I want the rest of them, why can't I just be satisfied with what I have but I'm not.

Brad, those are some nice ones. I like them all! (No big suprise there )
Bonnie, Rainy River is a nice blue, but my camera tends to make things more blue then they are. Breakers is a really nice one too, I kind of forgot about it. It never has tried to re-bloom here. But then most things don't here with our short season.
This is breakers with my old camera which is closer to it's real color (on the left). The second one is Breakers with my new camera. It looks more blue then it really is. (on the right)

Thanks, Tom. Brad you have put another TB on my buy list. If I find a few really blue iris I am going to make a blue iris bed.

Here's a few "old' blues:


Odoratissima



Chivalry



Blue Shimmer



Sierra Blue

A few more:


Blue Rhythm



Bolder Boulder



Queen Caterina



Change In The Weather.........this one's not so old !



Stairway To Heaven




Whole Cloth

Marilyn -- that Bluebird of Happiness is blue-tiful!!!

My favorite color in irises, next is purple.

Arlyn - nice to see a pic of Change in the Weather. Mine didn't bloom yet, but has grown enormous, so hope to see it next year. I only had a few blues this year, but was really surprised how much I liked the color and form of Monet's Blue.

The light blue of Raindance Returns is nice

and the blue in Blueberry Tart photographs much more purple than it actually is in person. And Abiqua Falls is a nice blue too.

This is Skywalker:

and this is a Spuria iris...Missouri Rainbows:




I really like Monet's Blue, as well...it seems like a good grower, also:

ooooohhh, I want Raindance Returns and Monet's Blue too.

Beautiful, all of them and first class photo's

Orinoco Flow Orinoco Flow





Versailles Alizes




Aegean Wind No ID Tag 31


NO ID Tag 46 (bought in box store as Dangerous Mood)





bought as Ah Ca Ira (no info in Database)


bought as Truly SLO (SLO: San Luis Obispo) found the name listed but never seen a picture

love all of them all =$$

Barbara Algean Wind is gorgeous! ...and I like Monet's blue too!

Phillipb2, all of those are just gorgeous, love them all even the NOID ones

Barbara...it may be a typo, but I think the names are Aegean Wind ...and Alizes. Just so you have your records straight.

Thank you Marilyn,
I did an edit above and fixed the spelling.
This maybe Circus Stripes

I ordered Circus Stripes this year to check (maybe to purple?).

It looks a lot like Circus Stripes. If it falls over, it's most likely that.

How about:

Victoria Falls

my version of "Sea Power".
