Charriet said:Here are a couple more NOIDS I'd like to identify.
This little guy is an SDB and I used him in
several crosses. Pre 2003.

For your SDB I would check out Pippi Longstockings. It has the white beard with yellow at the throat, and the spot that doesn't cover the entire fall. There is some variation with the spot if you review all the database pics, but I think yours falls within the range.





I don't grow Pippi, but several memebers do and can probably tell you where to get one as a comparitive plant.

One thing I have noticed about Pipi Longstockings, in my garden and in all the photos I have seen, is the light line that runs from the beard through the burgundy spot on falls to the light colored rim.

I have Bravery. and like it a lot. So I ordered another from a vendor and when it bloomed this is what
I got. Definitely not Bravery, but it was pretty. Can anyone i.d. it?

There is a partial line on Mary Ann's pic and on the NoID. Unless we see more blooms of the NoID, it is hard to tell if that line is really missing.

Jan - Have you looked through the vendors website or catalog? That would at least eliminate some of the choices, since there are several irises that have that pattern.

yes,I should look up who sent it.

For the SDB you might try 'Ultimate' as well.

These irises have been in my family for quite some time, passed on from one generation to the next. Unfortunately the names have disappeared with the winds of time.











Any help identifying them will be appreciated.

Sherri, I'm sorry I don't know the names of any of your posted iris.

to the Iris Forum, Sherri!

Lovely historics!

Sherri!

I don't know the names, but they sure are beautiful!

Nah -- it's the angle of the photo, Leslie. Mine has the entire line. Another photo:

Sherri ! Your first iris looks a lot like "Miss California". Here's a link that you might find interesting:

Here is a picture of my Miss California for comparison:



Hi Sherri!

I'm wondering if the yellow one is Ola Kala........



The color of mine is more intense -- but could be sunlight (or lack of it), or the camera.

I think the yellow looks more like "Coronation". "C" often shows some purple "flecking" on the haft areas....in colder climates....but the hafts in warmer situations are clean. There are tons of yellows and they can be tricky to ID. The best anyone can do...from pictures alone...is say "It "looks" like . In order to say , 'It IS !", takes a lot more information and time .

The third one sure is pretty. Hope some of the historics experts can help you.

And I agree with Arlyn - yellows are really hard to ID.

check out Lent A Williamson for your purple

I wonder if the third one is Majestic,  Bliss, 1923 ? I think its what my mother has in her yard
