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



Bonnie, is that the Mystery Iris I sent to you? Big-big blooms? If so, think it is Lullaby of Spring.
It’s okay to not know all the answers.

I. kochii is the one that always looks similar to me in photos. There was a brief discussion on FB Iris Lovers 5 days ago, but there have been too many posts to find it again.

John,

@yadah_tyger I am sure your James Gibson is not Rancho Rose, which I have grown before. I think it could be Beyond. The Database shows you have that one. When it blooms try a comparison.

I think Debra called out the white as immortality. I'm going to get a piece to check next to it.

im going to have to head out to sniff Iris whe. It it's raining. Because the other Iris around them are in bloom also I want to see it there is any smell at all but one for sure smells like grape soda.

Elizabeth, I'll have lots of both noids and several named irises to share this summer. I'll post photos of the noids here as they bloom, but I have tons of something that looks very much like Blue Rhythm, a white that looks like Lacey Snowflake, and a historic large bloomed soft yellow. I have multiple large clumps of all of those, and will be culling a lot to make room for new plants on order.


Neal, thanks so much! Thank You!

I bought this as "Capricious" then a kind person informed me this was not Capricious.
Any ideas?
Sorry about all the pictures but I thought more pictures the better to help in getting some leads on who this really is. I'll measure the bloom stalk and check for PBF tomorrow.

I bought this iris as "Superstition" but I've never felt comfortable that this is the real "Superstition" what do you think?

@iciris Superstition The white between the veins around the beards was always the way I recognized Superstition. If you are still uncertain, you could always get a plant and grow it next to this one.

Not Capricious I thought maybe Chuckles, but yours has a larger white area in the falls.

Yes, I agree with the above - Carnival Song. That one has flittered through my mind but I forgot to check.

Some more NoIDs bloomed on NoID hill that I don't recall ever seeing before.
