Beardless Iris ID, please

12 years ago

I was given several rhizomes that were identified as SIberian Iris Oriental Blue a few years ago, but this is the first time they have bloomed for me. They have multiplied very well and this week I dug up many rhizomes to share, but I am not sure that the ID given to me is correct. Any opinions on this?

It's a Louisiana iris. Probably historic. I'm not sure if it's a match but 'Puttytat' by Arny'68 is very similar.

Thank you so much, Iris Gal! It has been driving me crazy because I was certain it was not a Siberian as I had been told, but I did not think it to be a Louisiana because it rarely bloomed., unlike my other LA iris.

You were right! Now you have to post pictures of your other LAs so we know they're not Siberians ;-)
