Help with this lavender, please.

14 years ago

This 2-tone lavender is unlike any pictures that I can find on HIPS and Brighton Park. I will keep checking the other databases.

It is about 36" tall, blooming now with the early and mid-season Iris. It is well-branched and each has 6-buds.

It's close to Harbour Blue, 1954 and I can't find a good picture of Anitra, 1936.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Penny

Aquawise,

It sure does look like El Capitan. It did hold up well after a rain and the next day also.

Thanks so much for the 'probable ID'

Also looks like 'Blue Rhythm', Whiting 1945. Lots of pics online of this one.

Iris gal,
The white veining on mine come down farther than 'Blue Rhythm' I think. Mine also is more lavender than cornflower blue - although I would like to have a cornflower blue one. Mine seems to have a darker spot in the middle of the fall.

I have learned so much by reading this forum all of these years. Even if I never correctly ID my Iris - what fun it is to hunt.

Thanks so much,
Penny
