I just have (or had) three of those.

Double Bubble is a lovely iris that grows pretty well here. It was one of the earlier truly heavily ruffled types ("bubble ruffled" is the term used in the database).

Blueberry Bliss is one of the very few iris where I felt ripped off (disappointed occasionally yes, ripped off no) after seeing it bloom in my garden. In spite of the picture in the catalog and the description in the AIS registry, it's not blue. Not even close really. It's an excellent grower, I'll give it that, and it's a pleasant shade of violet if you are looking for a violet iris.

Jordan's Joy, on the other hand, is far more beautiful than its catalog picture. Actually, no pictures I've seen really capture just how pretty it is. One of my favorites. Also a good grower here.

Edited to say I have Into the Blue, too. I wouldn't rate it as highly as some of the others in Schreiner's line of light blue irises, but it's a very nice one. Grows very well. Most Schreiner iris grow well here for whatever reason.
