Tall Bearded Iris by Bernice Miller
Can anyone interpret iris descriptions for me? Here is an example I have: (B. Miller, R. 1984) TB, 36" (91 cm), E & RE Light lavender, paler spot under light yellow beard; mild fragrance. Rainbow Promised X Lovely Again.
Garden of the Enchanted Rainbow 1984.

I may be posting pictures of this flower soon. It is blooming with two different clusters from two different suppliers and are somewhat different in appearance. My gut feeling is environment causing slight changes, though they are only a few feet apart in the same garden. One is closer to a lot of mint plants and our AC heat pump unit which waters with condensation output. Any tips on how to know if two blooms are from the same genetic plant even though they are slightly different in color and distinction of markings?
