Some possibilities:







I might help if you know how old it is or how tall it grows?

Maybe someone who grows this cultivar will recognise it?
Of course I talk to myself; sometimes I need expert advice!

Thanks, @IrisLili
Unfortunately, the iris is gone Crying It was toss out when the bed was redone at our church.
A friend and I were so happy to see it bloom after couple of years in the bed (we were taking care of it for a couple of years). It was not a dwarf - a regular tall bearded iris. Received from a trade at least 8 years ago. Been searching for an iris like it ever since.

Night Magic would be a good replacement - it grows well for me at least!

It looks like Merry Amigo

I think Merry Amigo has only been registered about 8 yrs.
It bloomed for me the first year in DFW area TX
May you be blessed!

I think Merry Amigo looks close enough that this iris could replace your NO ID. Good search, Sharon. Thumbs up
