Snarfie! That's a really nice historic iris. Do you know it's name?

Hi Snarfie -- welcome!!

That's a lovely oldie you have there!!

Welkom!

Welcome Snarfie! Thanks for stopping by and sharing your iris photo! It's lovely!

Hi Snarfie! Keep sharing your pictures!

Hi, snarfie, welcome.

And another welcome!

welcome from all of us.

Indeed it is an old one. at least 25 years old. Does anyone know the name? I have about 6 seperate rhizomes now, with 1 to 5 heads each. It also seems more pest-resistant than some other cultivars, because some cultivars i tried were eaten before they really started growing, and this one had nothing.

And thanks for the welcome ;)

Oldies are difficult to ID.

Might help if you know height and bloom time?

Kind of looks like Wabash. Kind of.

Snarfie!

Sure is cute!

I don't think it's Wabash.. Alcazar would be closer.. There are really a lot that are similar. Folkwang, Frieda Mohr...

2 sites I would recommend:
http://www.historiciris.org/
http://www.irisparadise.com/

The nice thing about Iris Paradise is that they have sections by breeder. You might check with the European breeders they have listed.

You can search by decade on the historic Iris site. It's a little tedious, but you should come up with some good guesses to start to narrow it down. I'm guessing pre-1930, and probably earlier..
