Hello, Mary Ann Jay, and welcome to the fantastic iris forum and all the iris nuts on here. I love the photo of the last oNoID you posted. It is a beauty but them I am partial to blue... and pink.... and red.... and don't forget the glorious oranges and bright yellows... and... and.... and..........

Mary Anne Jay, and thank you for the lead on Wintry Sky.
Do you have any pictures you can post of Wintry Sky, or any of the Iris that you have? We LOVE pictures.

It may be Wintry Sky but the problem we discuss often of ID'ing an iris from a picture is that if it is not very unique it is hard to be positive. There are lots of dark tops. Crowned Head and In Reverse are two. There are many more that don't come to mind right now. The blue might be the easiest one to ID from form, color, and beard. Welcome Raven......

Here's a few pics of Wintry Sky

Here's another one that's like it some, but maybe a bit more violet then the picture shows. Coastal Mist, a late bloomer.

The color is more accurate on this one.

There are several like this one.

I'm pretty sure the photos Raven posted are quoting Barbara's post....

Patch isn't doing well, blood sugar very high, can't keep food or water down this morning. She was at the vet yesterday, but I am waiting to hear back from him on some cultures he took. I'm so afraid that she is having a re-bout of the problem she had this spring. I hope not, I just can't afford another $4000. vet expense. Vet just called while I was typing this, and she has a urinary tract infection again. Just like last time, so I have to run and get some antibiotics. Hopefully we caught it in time to avoid the hospital.
