Twilight Gardener, that looks like Afternoon Delight. A very vigorous plant for me. Jan I like your probable Captain Thunderbolt.

Niki, I'm officially taking my Captain Thunderbolt off the Noid list - after figuring out how
it got in my garden!

This is my Not Batik NoID - it stands about 20 inches to top of bloomstalk, the flowers are larger so guessing it is probably a border bearded or short historic.

Any ideas on what/who it is?

In sun - this is truer color on the falls

first opening, gave itself away that it wasn't what I expected!

Hi Angie, I think the second one is Persian Berry.

I acquired this last year and potted it so did not map it and the tag is missing from the pot. If anyone sent this one to me please nudge my old brain.

The falls are a bit lavender and the standards are a creamy yellow. So many it could be......

Thro' all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul— How can I keep from singing?

Might this be Deal or No Deal?
Tall Bearded Iris (Iris 'Deal or No Deal')
Uploaded by Mikey

As Greg said, Deal or no Deal is too new. This has been on my property since I bought it in '97. I'm thinking it dates back probably to the 60's, or possibly 70's. I've looked through everything Plough did (or at least what had pictures).. Same with Opal Brown. I've also looked forwards and back at the lineages of Amigo's Guitar, Dutch Master, Milestone, Gypsy Lullaby, Gala Madrid, and a couple of others..

The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us.

Niki: Is Persian Berry an older cultivar? The lady who planted it has been gone from this property
somewhere around 10 years, so I'm guess it has to be 20-30 years old.

Thanks, Arlyn. It's a beauty, isn't it? And a huge bloom.

This is a new bloom on 4-20-16 from Afternoon Delight

Its been pouring here so I'm sure this bloom has been beaten up pretty bad.

Along with the new NGA I've decided to change my name also. I look out my door and "i c iris" blooming...

Angie, I just looked up Persian Berry in the database(Also where you can see pictures of it since they aren't showing up with the brackets in my post.)Persian berry was introduced in 1977.

Mary Ann: Thank you for the correction of `Apricot Buff' to `Golden Russet.' I've corrected the name in my database.

Oh -- and Niki is most certainly correct on your rose-colored NOID. The red on the shoulders of the bloom are a dead give-away. Did I send you that one too?
