iris are finally in full swing here in SD

15 years ago

So, you have all been sharing your lovely iris. I will post a pic of some of mine, the middle blooming ones for me. I have included a second pic of just the iris that I bought at a box store that was marked Edith Wolford. Do you think it is actually that? It isn't as tall as 40 inches, so I am wondering. I think it started blooming sooner than EW is advertised as doing. I think it looks like it, though.

The third photo is of Superstition kind of fading out, and a NOID that my friend gave to me. This iris blooms later, along with Princess of Paradise and Oasis Cathy. Anyone have any ideas what it could be? Thanks.

Thanks for looking!

Your iris look lovely, great orange iris in the last photo & it looks great beside superstition. Sorry, no idea on what it might be.
That looks like Edith Wolford to me too. My Edith doesn't get that tall either, but where I looked it up, supposed to get 32-35" tall. Mine is probably less than 35" tall, but I find lots of my iris may be taller/shorter than stated. Difference in location or temperature I guess.

Gee, I think it is rufflier than Many Mahalos, and taller. but that is an idea. I like oranges, too. This one is a peachy kind of orange. I think my friend got these iris maybe ten years ago from the High Country Gardens. She didn't remember the name, and now she has passed. I wonder if their customer service would remember such a thing.

Sorry about your friend.
The iris is not recent, but it is super ruffly. That will narrow the search. I'll keep looking. Sometimes sellers have only ever sold one orange iris, so they know what you have.

That looks like Edith Wolford to me. Mine is not so tall either. that is a lovely ruffly orange iris even if you don't know its name.
