Jen, I don't have a lot of experience with white Iris, but that one looks to me like Immortality.

I'll have to check Debra, I thought there might be a blue or lavender hint to immortality but I could be absolutely wrong. Lol

On first opening one year, mine did have some very light lavender-blueyish blobs toward the edge of the falls, but the color faded before the end of the first day.

I would say that's a damn good match Debra! Now I'll have to get s piece to put next to it to see if it's really it.

Your off to a good start!

Some of my peonies are getting ready to bloom. These were supposed to be sorbet peonies. Clearly they are not but I do love that florecent pink color with the purple clematis!
