That's so frustrating, Arlyn..
The pictures of Sandlewood look more golden, but I haven't grown it. Does it fade out?
That one reminds me of Chantilly or Easter Bonnet, but softer in color...

Monty, if you haven't been to the Historic Iris site, there's a search feature.. It's not always helpful if you don't know the registered color... Would yours be a pink, peach, tan, fawn or yellow? Hilarious!

Also this great article by Phil Edinger on Identification.

If you're a member, there's a forum for Historics.

Identifying isn't that easy... Sometimes you get lucky, and sometimes the search goes on and on.. I've got several that I've been unable to put a name to. You really shouldn't put a positive name to one until you've grown the named one side by side..

You can do what I do for fun at night when there's nothing but reruns, that I've already seen, of shows I shouldn't have lowered myself to watch in the first place... It's a tedious process, but a tremendous source of historics... ...and so much more educational than watching trashy housewives pull each other's hair out. Rolling on the floor laughing

Also a good site for searching.. http://www.irisparadise.com/Ir...
The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us.
