Iris ID: Queen of May??

15 years ago

I've been trying to put a name to my inherited irises. Possibilities I've come up with for this one so far:

Queen of May

Easter Bonnet

Asia

What do you think? Am I close?

i have the same one, you got a good picture, mine usually ends up looking washed out in pictures.

i don't know the name of mine either and got all of the same possibilities, hopefully you find a name!

Beautiful backdrop, too. I'd love to see a photo of those roses in bloom against the stone wall.

Thanks for your help!

Hosenemisis - I'll be sure to post some rose photos once we get some blooms. They have tons of buds and I can't wait to see the show myself. This is only our second year at this house so I still get excited to see how things will perform.

I have a few more irises in bud and blooming that I've been trying to ID. I don't want to flood the forum with my NOID posts, so I'll try and stagger them a bit. Any help anyone can offer in identifying them would be greatly appreciated, though.

Thanks again everyone for your input!
