Now if your weather will just calm down and let you enjoy them, Arlyn!!!!

Barbara -- I can't help you with identification -- but Tag 51 is absolutely beautiful!!

Does anyone recognize these?
Violet lavender with pinkish falls! Very different. What would this pattern be called?
I know amoena is white standards with different colored falls, but is there a name for this?

Different blue purple w bluish beards.

Same as the first.

one part of the "NOID Overflow Area"..........I'm fixin' to have fun

OMG, I want to be there Arlyn! You can't possibly have that much fun by yourself, I know you need my help!!!

The top and bottom one look a lot like either New Face, or Role Reversal, I think it looks more like New Face.

It is just a bicolor for the present until someone thinks of a fancier name.

I remember now!
New Face!

New Face is gorgeous!

New Face is nice!

Arlyn It is about to explode!!! Yippee!

Pam, I read your message 'Arlyn is about to explode!!! Yippee!' I had to go back and read it.

Wow Arlyn, that's going to quite a show! Are they all surprises?

Yes, Rob,...sort of!....the ones you sent me are in there, so I did see your pics of SOME, but ,there were some from your sisters (Ithink ) that will be surprises, and everything else in there is ," I've got a purple one you can have", or, bought at a rummage sale, or seen growing (out of bloom !)as a "waif" someplace along a country road, and then they followed me home( they are like dogs that way....if you stop to "pet" them....they want to be "yours" ). That pic is the "overflow" area (used to have tomatoes there!), most of the NOIDS are in another bed, and those I've seen pictures of, or have bloomed before, so I"kinda" know what I may be dealing with.....not maybe WHO they are, but at least what they look like. Then there are those, ....like "Deb's Yellow", that live in various places around the yard, patiently waiting for a name to catch up to them. There are over a hundred, in total ( I'm kinda' scared to actually count them ), .....it keeps me home, and out of trouble !!.....well, MOST of the time ,anyway !

Nice!

I still have NoIDs on my hill that are surprising me every year. I had 4 or 5 bloom this year that I've never seen before. (pictures will be coming soon) Non the ones I rescued from my sisters vacation home bloomed. They will keep me in suspense for another year.

Most of the 30 NOIDs I got from Mamajack last year did not bloom.

Yeah, it's surprising ,sometimes, as to "what blooms next year, and what blooms the year after" !Obviously ,if the piece you get is a tiny, dried nubbin, it's going to take longer to reach 'blooming size", but, I've received many big, healthy rhizomes, that STILL need another "Extra" year (or two!) to actually settle in and bloom. MDB's, SDB's, and the old diploids seem to be pretty sure to bloom the next year after planting, but with the others ,it can be a crap shoot! Then there are those , like the Noid IB I got from Tom, 2 years ago....made good growth, looked great, but, it needed that "extra" year to do it's thing....and Tom said anytime he moved it ,or divided it....it "sulked" for a year afterwards .....some are just that way !








Tom's Pink Noid.......I'm 'leaning " towards either *Pretty Karen*, or another of Melba Hamblen's pinks, *Raspberry Blaze*....probably one I'll never nail down, though, as pictures of hers seem scarce, and the chance of finding test plants isn't real good, either

Hamblen's "Raspberry Blush" might be available from Blue J and Iris Warehouse, "Pretty Carol" from Exline and "Pretty Karen" from Bluebird Haven but no idea on any others right now. Any other names?

Thanks ! I said Raspberry Blaze, and I should have said Raspberry Rose ! Raspberry Blush is pretty popular, but, it's also pretty obvious that's not the one I have. Tom had 'eliminated" it ,when he grew it. I hadn't checked Mary's site yet....she does have some pretty "scarce " iris. Another couple I need to track down, are Warburton's *Dear Love*, and a little MDB (forget right now who did it ) named *Cupcake*.
Getting "test plants" is sort of taking a "back seat' to finding replacements for the named varieties I've lost to rot this year ! Still, I like to work on ID ing Noids, while they are blooming.

Ok...I know I'm really late to the party but here's my 2 cents worth:

Rob, @UnderTheSun your NoID #13 looks a lot like Rare Quality



Celia, @Zencat your friend's NoID reminds me of Champagne Elegance



Sherry, @Henhouse I agree that your white Noid looks a lot like Matterhorn including the serrated edge on the top of the standards.

(I couldn't fit the whole photo in the screen capture)


and for the peach & white one you might check Slow Blow



Barbara @PhillipB I absolutely love your NoID. I hope you get a chance to get a picture in daylight!


@Polymerous I agree with others, your space age seedling is a gorgeous color!


There are so many more...these are just the ones that stand out for me.

Marilyn (that's my name, too!), I think the color on that NOID is nice, too. I just hope that I haven't lost it...
