Iris ID

15 years ago

I posted this iris a couple of days ago, but couldn't work out the name. Is it possible it is Swingtown? I got one in trade a couple years ago, but thought it died in the summer drought. It is a late bloomer obviously, not a particularly large flower, about 36" tall.

I would say it is a good possibility. I love those colors.

The form and beard area look very much like my Swingtown.

Do you remember on another post your last 2 unidentified --- one deeper in color --- with what looked like a darker fall edge. In rose-lav-pinky tones. I came across a picture of "Rainbow Hues" that gave the same effect (as the lighter?). Wish I could link to Dave's.

I remember that picture, but it doesn't look so much like Rainbow Hues in person. Later blooms were even a bit softer than the one I took a picture of. Thanks for trying though. I may yet come across the name of it, several times it is right there on my list, I just can't see it.
