    That is a beauty. This will take a while but scan through the 33 pages at http://www.schreinersgardens.com/listitems_6024_0? to see if you can find it's name.

    I was able to find names of two that bloomed this year but were not what the package said they would be.

    Thanks toni, I shall look in a moment. this iris was another rescue mission from work, I was told to strim these after the caravan had been turfed from its plot :eek: obviously I got the spade out and planted them in my garden last autumn. it seemed like an eternity waiting to see if it flowered. absolutely delighted with the results :-D :-D

    What a real beauty that bearded iris is. I'm so glad you rescued it. I hope you manage to find a name for it.

    Your border looks great - especially for being just a year old. Well done!! :-D

    Beautiful Iris you have there. Even better that it was a rescue. Your border is looking pretty good too.

    Amas would be a good guess for a name to that one!
