    Lovely pictures! Your No ID #1 looks like Monsignor (Vilmorin 1907) to me. Is it on the short side?

    Thank you Jean! Yes it is on the short side. I will look it up.

    Wow! Your iris's are absolutely gorgeous. I have 'one' iris that I've had for three years now. I've never seen a bloom on it yet, just green leaves. I don't know what kind it is either as someone gave it to me. Sure wish I knew what it would look like with a flower on it. Thank you for sharing your beautiful photos.

    cadence~~ Are your Iris in full sun? They like to be in full sun and not to much water, a little fertalizer in spring. Thank you for the response. G

    G. Thank you for the tip.
    I purchased a small pond (second hand) off Craigslist about 3 years ago. The guy who sold it to me said 'I have some iris's that were growing in or around the pond and you can have this one. Anyway, when I got it home, I noticed there were rocks in it and all wrapped up in some net. I removed it all and put it in a pond basket and it grew really tall but no flowers. It was in the sun. Then I ended up getting raccoons trashing all my plants so I got rid of the pond. I then planted the iris between my hydrangea and lilac tree. The leaves are green. It gets morning sun and afternoon shade. I have a small perennial garden that gets morning shade and afternoon sun. Should I move it there? When would be a good time to move it?

    You have the most beautiful iris's I have ever seen...and I would love to see a flower on just my one. lol

    I would move it now!. Trim off the fan to about 4". Put it where it will get the most sun you can give it. It is probably not a tall bearded Iris! they do not like wet roots. There are water Iris, Google it and see if you can match the leaves to one of them. They like wet feet and lots of sun.

    Hi Aquawise, thank you again. First thing tomorrow I will cut the to 4" and plant it in my perennial garden that faces west. It will get a lot more sun there. If it is a water iris, then I should water it often? I will take one of the leaves and see if I can match it to any pics that I see on Google. Thank you sooooo much for your help.
