Sweet little blooms, Meredith. The little unnamed one may be Golden Apricot. I has golden rims on it. Do you have more photos of it and do you remember where you got it?

I have no records of it. I had planted Iris for the first time back in 2009 but most of them didn't do well. I was new and I think I had them in too much shade and too much mulch. So last summer I dug up any Iris foliage I saw and moved it to a much sunnier drier no mulch area. So they seem to be happy with me because I am seeing blooms from Iris I thought I lost. I know I only ordered from Shreiner's and Rainbow Iris that year. But the ones I remember ordering don't match this one.

However funny coincidence I just searched standard dwarf bearded iris for an unrelated reason and happened upon this listing which looks very similar to my Noid... http://www.stoutgardens.com/co...

Any chance it could be 'Sweethearts Again'?

Edited to add that Rainbow Iris did carry 'Sweethearts Again' at one time.

Meredith-
Check out these for comparison:
Standard Dwarf Bearded Iris (Iris 'Cocoa Pink')

and:
Standard Dwarf Bearded Iris (Iris 'Chanted')

Somehow with all my downsizing these two got away from me. Now I miss not
having them around! Crying

Also look at 'Pinkster'. Not sure of the blue beards on this one. The first photo of Chanted doesn't look right--the 2nd one does. chanted doesn't have that purple shading.

Might be a good year for chimeras.

I certainly my had more chimeras than usual! We had late frost too. Poor Fuzzy Wuzzy Rocket has yet to produce a normal bloom. Only one bud left. Sighing!

Well, Orange Obsession opened in the cold yesterday so I took a picture of it with my new camera. It should relax some today and I'll take a better picture when it's not so cold and when it's not in the bright sun.
