urania1 said:Since we are on the subject of blue, I want to find a blue iris the color of Missouri or Blue Rhythm that has a long bloom season ... kind of like my purple NoIDs. This iris should also have the look of Missouri or Blue Rhythm. And have a really long bloom season. Suggestions?

Of the older non-ruffled blues, Cahokia is a very nice sky blue. I have been looking for strong-growing sky-blues, and also prefer the tailored form. I've tried many. The best grower I've found, by far is Joyful Skies by Schreiner. It is much too ruffly for my tastes, but it blooms like crazy and also divides well. Check out this clump, which is of Joyful Skies and Pinkness.
