I think you should get a test plant; but having said that they both look correct. Especially the Peach Picotee!

I wish I took more pictures, but time was not on my side. I was able to add pictures to nine cultivars out of the 35 cultivars that did not previously have a picture in the database. That is a big percentage. I know one of the cultivars that I added pictures too only had pictures from Gabe that he took at Thelma's. Adding pictures is a big time goal as the descriptions can be most uninformative to say the least!

I left my row listing on my work computer. I will try to remember to look at this one and see what is next to it. I agree they don't look alike.

Plum Parfait - the Gabe picture is in full sun and the Wiki pic is in shade, so they could still be the same iris. Especially that shade of purple. I get that real darkening of color with Gypsy Romance in shade. They both have the same reddish patch at the hafts and the same beard color. Gabe's pic also has a faint ring around the falls that the wiki pic shows better.
