Pam, thanks for the kind offer. I really appreciate it. However, I didn't even intend to order this iris. It was supposed to be "Chasing Rainbows."

First and last time buying from CT Iris. Out of an order of 4 iris, they sent two wrong ones - actually, since Drinks at Sunset didn't bloom, maybe that's wrong too and it was the whole reason I even went to their site. It's one of my faves and I lost it in a massive borer infestation. It was not easy to find. I've since realized that I could have wept and wailed and begged on here and one of you lovely people would have sent it to me :)

I'm going to give it to a friend who I think will like it. She doesn't care about the name of the iris. My garden space is limited and my wish list long. Hope your horses are well.

Hate to say this, but although close, I don't think that is Supreme Sultan. The slight differences that I see are the beard color and the mid-rib color. The beards on my Supreme Sultan are more orange and more scraggly - not that full pretty yellow orange

I do have another suggestion that might be close. Gypsy Caravan. Same time period and I think also a Schreiners introduction. Here are pics of each from my garden.

Gypsy Caravan





I have both if you would like to test grow them for comparison.
