Lisa, do you know if the leaf bases( right where the leaf comes out of the rhisome) are tinged with purple? That (called PBF, for purple based foliage) is a real help in ID. It would be good if you check that out. Also some iris "show PBF" early, before bloom, some late season, and some all season. Making notes of this will really help in IDing your iris next year.....Arlyn
