Great photos!

80 acres! How beautiful that must have been!

I'm wondering if it could be this one

Tall Bearded Iris (Iris 'Kaibab')

I was looking at Atkins Salmon Creek Gardens and saw this one. Carl also has one in the database that looks like the one in the photo also.

Edit to say: Nope not it. But I like it just as much.

Leslie, the 9th picture is all Siberians. We were just a touch early for the Japanese. Here's the full size file of the picture.

Neil, most of the TB irises in the garden came from Cooleys if that is any help finding a name. You might check one of their old catalogs.

I was looking at photo 40. It looks to me to be I. chrysographes. Any thoughts, anyone?

Thanks Barbara! I agree, I like Kaibab just as much- what a gorgeous color combo!

Neil, here's a closeup of the iris in question.

A little grainy, but you can see the beard.

I should have thought of that Carl since you said you were also at Mt. Pleasant before they bloomed (note to self - really need to go see Chad's in bloom). So beautiful Sibs then, the setting is still amazing. !!

The colors on Kaibab are the reverse of the colors on the mystery Iris. Any reason why you can't send the photo to the Oregon Gardens and ask them if they know the identity?

Yep, realized that as soon as I posted it
