This was the one we are talking about.

From an order from Nola's for "Midnight Masterpiece," I got this big purple iris with white marks over hafts and around the beard. Beard is whitish on the end, but yellow down in the throat. Certainly is NOT Midnight Masterpiece. Looking over Nola's catalog, I'm guessing it's "Long's Peak." Does anyone have an opinion?

Barbara I think your NOT Vizier might be Mariposa Autumn which is also my NOT Cloud ballet from Schreiner's last year. Has your rebloomed though?

No, it has not rebloomed yet but with the drought I'm not realy surprised. Thank you for your suggestion of Mariposa Autumn, I'll go check it out.
Not sure what's going on with Schrieners I've been getting quite a few wrong ones the last two years.

My first big order was from Schreiner's last year. I guess we'll see how many are correct for me. Belgian princess has sent up her first bloom stalk and a husky one.

Barbara,.
'Wintry' Sky was one of the first to open here and is long-blooming.. It is nicely ruffled, even if my pictures don't show it. If you need piece, let me know.

Here is Long's Peak from Nola's in 2015. I don't think yours is Long's Peak.

I'm having trouble uploading another picture, will post another one in a minute.

Long's Peak

Sorry this took a bit but our internet went down.

Thank you for your offer Sherry, but this happened to be the fastest ID for me... I looked at the wrong tag (still in a pot) and the Iris is Never Been Kissed.

And it is a very beautiful Iris.

John, you were right it was a Blyth Iris.

I bought this years ago as 'Starship Enterprise'.. Clearly, it is not, but it's lovely anyway...

Not Vizier



Niki, I think your on to something

Looks like a good bet..

I had another good luck event today. I had another potted Iris that was marked wrong name from last year. Looked at it, then took it over to 'heavenly body' and it's the same Iris.

I have an iris that was supposed to be Sotto Voce. I waited 3 years looking forward to that beautiful soft color combination...and this is the bloom I discovered today! I like the colors...but I have a lot in similar colors/pattern. If you recognize it that would be great to know. It's similar to Hi Calypso (shown below) but not the same.

This intermediate opened yesterday and I don't recognize it at all. I didn't plant any new irises in that area so it must have been there for quite a while without blooming.





These little peach guys are really fragrant.

A couple more NOID images:

This is the back of the border I posted yesterday. It really should be called "Here Be Dragons" because
I've not had a chance to get in there and clean it out. It's on my list!


And here is a beauty that opened for the first time ever for me:

Too wild to get back to where she is to see if she is fragrant. I'll have to put my snake boots on to
do the clearing.

I have this iris labeled as `Apricot Buff' but I can't find it in any iris database. I received it from my
dear friend Muddymitts:

Here's another one that opened in my wife's patch this morning. The first photo is without flash, the 2nd is with flash.

I had three open up today that are all NOT what I ordered! It is sooooooo frustrating to wait two years, and when it finally blooms it is not the iris you wanted!

Another Schreiner faux pas - Batik is no Batik.

Melted Butter is something like a mix between Instructor and Tennessee Gentleman. I know it is NOT Instructor because Instructor opened right beside it.

And Skiddle NoID is a great bloomer, but not Skiddle.

I will post pics tonight so you wise people can help me ID these cute no names.

This noid has a most startling color (doesn't show accurately in photo)
It's a kind of greenish gold.
