It sure is a beauty, but from reading the description on line, it does not seem to be it.

The German Iris 'Alaskan Seas', Iris germanica, has icy blue standards with deep sea blue falls.

chemocurl,

Sue, Thanks VERY much for all of your help with the picture uploading thingy.

Any suggestions then?

I thought it to be Alaskan Seas based on the picture at "Stoney Creek"

You are so welcome.

Anywho...in comparing the 2 pics, it looks like yours has a white or light edge around the falls, doesn't it? The one at Stoney Creek doesn't show any light edges, nor does the one at Schreiner's.

Here's a few more pics of Alaskan Seas.

Sierra Grande lightens at the edges. Link below. It is a Schreiners intro 1992 and won an Award of Merit 1998. Your picture reminds me of it.

It is really hard to tell. To bad there isn't a genetic lab that we can send a piece of our noids to for a small fee and have them tell us for sure. They could have a data base of named iris to compare it to. This should work since all of the off spring come from the same plant right.

I suggest posting over at Dave's Garden on the Iris forum. They have an excellent group of iris maniancs over there. Including some members who own the companies we buy from. They just helped me with an id in no time flat.

Also, Daves Garden has a section called plant files that you could search through all the pics of. My guess is it is a Tall Bearded Iris than just find the variety.
