Re: Identification of a favorite

Hi Arnold,

I brought in a similar flower to be identified and was told it was either Orville Fay or Peg Edwards.  As I know that I bought Peg Edwards and not Orville Fay, it is now dubbed Peg Edwards.  It sounds like that could be what you have also.

     Can anybody suggest an ident. for a beautiful Siberian, perhaps my favorite in my garden, that is almost, but to my eyes not quite, an ORVILLE FAY look-alike?  It has the coloration, but both falls and standards seem wider and the falls more standing straight out than OF.  The nearest thing to an expert in our club said it might be OF when he saw it in our garden, and at our show he compared the OF he'd used in an arrangement to the specimen I brought, saying he thought it was the same.  Well, it didn't look quite that decisive to me, so I thought I'd ask you if you knew another like OF but with the differences I noted.  My iris forms a wonderful clump, chock full of wonderful, wide flowers, and I would surely like to know its identify for certain.Arnold Arnold & Carol Koekkoek
