Peggy;
Someone noted "The photos look like it has brownish purple epaulettes (so to speak) at the hafts. It's very handsome."
Another thought Rhapsody might be a contender. The iris's entry on the AIS wiki:
http://wiki.irises.org/bin/view/TbPthruT/TbRhapsody
I think Rhapsody is supposed to have PBF, but of course PBF can be seasonal on some cultivars.
If anyone else has a good comment I'll report back

Thanks Schaub, yes go ahead and post the photos on the forum. I am a member of HIPS, but have never posted, just lurked around on it. I do know Indian Chief and it is not that one. It is hard to get good colors, plus it is next to the white house and that throws off colors as well.

Thanks for you help, Peggy

Peggy, if you want I could post in the forum of the group I link to below. You have to be a society member to use that forum. I would need your permission to use your photos. One note, those shades of rose, "red", etc are very hard to capture accurately, which greatly complicates getting a highly reliable ID from photos. It looks to be an iris from the late 20's - 30's and there were quite a few in that color range. They were struggling hard to get better reds. A hard task, we've only started getting close to true reds in recent times.
You can also check out the Photo Gallery area here:

Check out Indian Chief. It is by far the most common of the contenders found these days.
