Bloom time and height are important variables to be used in iding a
spuria species iris.
Even though halophilia flowers can closely resemble I. spuria subsp.
carthaliniae,- they are shorter and bloom much earlier.
So height and bloom time are important. If they have been labeled with
an alternate name of I. spuria subsp. carthaliniae, then chances are
very high that that is what it is.
I wouldn't attempt to name on only having a picture.

Would really like to help you ID these Spuria.ÂI'm afraid my comments
are going to be moreÂmuddle than help !
Â
I'd have to say thatÂyourÂpicturesÂremind me very strongly of the I.
halophilaÂthat I grew from seed. The white/yellow bloom is aÂprecise
match in color, and theÂbloom form aligns wellÂwithÂtheÂspuria grex
that I grow. ( of course there is no guarantee that the seedÂI obtained
was identified correctly,Âeither )
Â
So,Âfor what its worth,Âyour picturesÂlook like theÂputative I.
halophilaÂgrownÂfrom Signa Seed about a decade ago.

The attached pictures were first identified as
I. spuria subsp. carthaliniae, but then the owner
changed her mind and said they were I. klattii,
which as far as I can tell isn't a currently
recognized species - what's its current status?
The pictures of klattii I was able to find on
the internet are blue rather than white.
Any thoughts as to what these iris actually are?
Thanks,
Jean
