Last one folks - this is RE noid. It appears orange sometimes
and pink at other times - depends on the lighting. 18- 19 inches
tall.

Thanks
Margie! The sun this morning made everything look so pretty that I had to try
to catch it. I'm glad you enjoyed it too!
I guess you could call this iris
a "new oldie" maybe? It's a volunteer seedling that just bloomed for the first
time back in the Spring. I'm pretty sure it's from fallen seed from CRICKET
SONG, which is one of my reblooming diploid MTB's from Iris cengialtii X CLOWN
PANTS (which is from Iris variegata X Iris suaveolens var. mellita). So the
mother was a three way species cross - kind of in the style of those old
European irises of mixed pallida/variegata ancestry. I don't know who the papa
might be, of this volunteer seedling, but it surely must have been one of the
other nameless diploid species cross seedlings around here.
You'll have to
post a picture of your flowers blooming right now - sounds like a beautiful
combination.
Thanks again and take care,
Tom

What a
beautifully composed picture - love the iris close-up with Fall colored
background setting. Just look at that sky! Your iris looks like an oldie but
goodie - do you know it's name?
I have a similar situation here
