Help ID this iris?

16 years ago

I hope someone can help me ID this iris. I seem to have this is several places this year & just don't remember it before. It is very short, maybe a dwarf bearded iris, probably an intermediate. About 10" tall and one of the first iris that have bloomed this year. I got Cliche last year or the year before & haven't seen it bloom, but I don't think this can be right for it. I've only had dwarf iris the last year or so, & not sure just what difference there is between dwarf & some intermediate iris that also seem quite short. I do a lot of trading & usually only trade for named varieties, but this could also be one of the exceptions :)

Hi! I don't know what it is...but it is beautiful. I love the deep wine color mixed with the purple. Just beautiful!

You know, Cherry Garden was the name that hit me when I saw it, but I don't have records that I actually got that one. That is not that unusual for me though :) I would go with Cherry Garden as the name since it came to mind right away like that. What bothers me is Cherry Garden is listed as being about 15" tall. This one is closer to 10" & is the same in each location I have it.

I bet there are others with the same colors. I'm not familiar with many SDBs. But at least it's a starting point to ask others for looks-like-cherry garden.
