There are 65,585 irises in the database. Can't say with any sort of certainty, but at least 40,000 (probably more than 50,000) entries don't have pictures. It would be a long thread......
That's actually pretty impressive considering the database was created almost from scratch less than 4 years ago.
The biggest gaps in terms of pictures are with the beardless types, median and dwarf classes of bearded iris, arils/arilbreds, and pretty much anything hybridized prior to 1980 or so. Pictures of irises from any of those groups are greatly appreciated.
The most complete parts of the database, not surprisingly, are relatively recent tall bearded intros from the better known hybridizers. Keith Keppel, for example, registered 134 TBs between 2000 and 2013. All but one of them, Boston Cream, have pictures in the database. Boston Cream will no doubt get its picture soon.
