Can you ID this early bird? Not Ambrosia anything

17 years ago

This iris came labeled as Ambrosia Delight, but it doesn't look like any of the Ambrosias that I have been able to find. It is a nice lemon buff (colors accurate on my monitor) with a whitish area under the beards which go from white to yellow to orange in the throat. Also, it has at least 9 buds, possibly 11.

Knowing the difficulties, I don't usually ask for IDs, but I thought the fact that this one is SOOO early might make it identifiable.

Thanks for trying!

Could it possibly be All Together (Gatty 91) as seen at Dave's Garden, page 8 of the A list? If you remember where you got it, you can look in their catalog - maybe they also sold All Together that year. Mis-labeled irises cause me all kinds of misery....!

Thanks for the lead, but I'm still not sure. I looked at 3 different photos of All Together and they all looked different! The one at C&T Iris patch looks like a bitone; the one at Dave's has similar color to mine but much more rounded shape; the one at DVIS has similar shape to mine, but seems to be a much truer lemony color --so who knows! None of them mention blooming season.

I got this at an iris club sale. I should probably bring the picture to the next club sale and see if anyone can identify it.
