Hi Jill,
I am not sure if this is actually 'Actress'. Your image shows lighter standards and the registration describes it as a Wisteria violet self. What really struck me though was the beard. "Actress' beard is pale lavender-blue tip, Indian orange in throat. Your iris appears to be a solid gold. Click to enlarge the image found in this link to really see a good close-up of the beard:

Thank you for the info. I purchased that plant as Actress, but it's always possible to have the wrong ID or the wrong flower. If you would delete the image, I would appreciate it. Sorry about the bad photo.

The bloom is too pretty to delete so I moved it into the generic iris entry. Thumbs up
