Michael--I have at least 4 forms of cristata ranging from a very deep
violet through the usual "sky blue" to pure white. In the light blue
forms, the purple marks around the crest may be present or absent. I have
not found a lot of variability in Blue Ridge wild populations, but there
are a handful of named cultivars out there.
Do you grow any other crested species? I have japonica, tectorum, milesii,
'Paltec' and gracilipes (the last one about to bloom now). Iris lacustris
has not done at all well here in several attempts--I suspect our hot
summers.
