I think that is a Willott iris, Paul. The Willotts created some really nice irises.

I found this today. It's likely Captain's Choice. I planted that, Kaligazam and Witch's Wand there. I think. Hilarious! CC is listed as early/mid while the others are later.

Depending on how old your house (or neighborhood) is, a stab in the dark for your white Iris might be 'Purissima'..
The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us.

All lovely, Barb! Thumbs up

I was particularly intrigued by Circus Circus. This is normally not the type of Iris that I love -- white and purple plicatas all look alike to me -- but I love the little purple lines on the falls!! Just really a pretty look!

I like that one too, Mary Ann, had it once, but the darn ground squirls decided to dig a hole under it, and it died out a few years back.
Politicians are like diapers, they need to be changed often, and for the same reason.

It's been pouring here the last hour!
So you know I had to put my rain gear on and wander out to
see how Coffee Shop was faring.
Here she is!

Beautiful, Jan!!! I am so glad you ventured forth to get a photo to share with us. I think it is gorgeous! Any iris with 'coffee' in its name would have to be gorgeous wouldn't you think? Is this its first bloom in your garden or has it lived there for years?
