Does anyone want to know what a dunce I am?? Well I am gonna tell ya anyway! One of the NOIDs I posted is Sherbert..how do I know? I grow it. A little thoughtless journey through the garden and it is amazing what will dawn on a gal.

So I'm not the only one?

Nope!!

I bought this many years ago as 'Starship Enterprise'.. obviously, it is not. Still love it, but would love even more to put a name to it.

That is a pretty one Sherry, It's different enough that I'd think you could find a name for it.

I love that one Sherry!

Hi Guys! We're back from our trip to Chicago -- and I'm wading my way through email and thread posts. I am NOT caught up , yet!!

But I had a NOID bloom open Saturday morning before we left -- so I took a couple of pictures. This was given to me as a NOID. I do think it is the prettiest Iris I have ever seen -- and I'm thinking that it is so unique that it will be easy to identify.





So -- who recognizes it?????

Glad you are back, Mary Ann.

Both of those are sooo pretty.

I don't recognize it, but it sure is pretty!

The falls are similar to 'Reckless Abandon' or 'New Found Glory', but the standards don't match. 'Dime a Dance' is the closest I could find... but don't break out the cigars...

Henhouse said:@hazeleyes, how tall is your white NOID? Does it have PBF? You might look at 'New Snow'. That's one I eliminated in searching for my white NOID. If it's very tall, you might consider 'Purissima'.

I think it might be

I did get that one and forgot

Sometimes a NOID is just, and always will be, a NOID.

Some years back I ordered 'Sweet Orange Spice'. I waited patiently for blooms (they were tiny rhizomes when purchased), but when the first of the three plants finally came into bloom (2012 - was it really that far back?), it was clearly NOT 'Sweet Orange Spice'. (All of them were in pots in too much shade in my side yard, which is why only one of them bloomed.)



The blooms looked... strange... unlike any iris I had ever seen before. When searching the grower's database, I learned that this was probably a 'Space Age' iris. (Apologies to you iris experts for my ignorance... I am more into daylilies.) I tried to figure out what the plant possibly could be (based on the seller's offerings), and then I contacted the seller to determine if my possible ID was correct.

The answer came back, 'No'.... my NOID was an unnamed seedling. No other information (as to possible parentage) was forthcoming.

The NOID...

Wow, a nice one too, I wonder if they ever registered it?

Any guesses on this one? Not even sure where it came from but I really like it. Thanks!
Ann

If the edges are laced, you might have Kaligazam.

Marilyn and I don't think it is Dimeadance. It looks too dark and the white edge is too small.
Again, is it fully open? Here's a picture from a couple of days ago by a friend who grows it.


It's my wife's introduction so we know it pretty well.

Do you recognize this one, Tom ?

I think it was one given to me as Raspberry Blush, but it wasn't, so it is a NOID. I no longer have it though.

It grew well last year, but never bloomed, now, this year, it is FULL of stalks !

Mary Ann,
try Cosmic Celebration. here is the "throat" picture to compare to yours. note the edges on the standards and patterning around the beard.
