    Last year, a friend gave me one fan of Iris saying someone gave it to her but she is not a gardener. So my friend gave it to me. Today the Iris opened and to my surprise, it was blue with white speckles.

    I'm in love :stew1:

    Does anyone know the name of it? I would like to have a whole garden of these pretties:

    I think your gorgeous iris may be a 'Purple Streaker' Chelsea. I wouldn't mind someone giving me a pressie like that!! :-D

    Wow! Thank you for your quick reply, Eileen :stew1:

    I sure wish I had more of them. There are some solid dark blue ones in containers behind the streaker to keep it company.

    In a few days, I have another Iris about to bloom and will need the name of that one too if you don't mind.

    I think the first one may be 'Glen Ellen' and the second 'Rameses' Chelsea. :stew2:
