Iris from 2019 swap blooming

last year

last modified: last year

We got some gorgeous Iris from the 2019 swap but alot never bloomed where we put them. Last year we moved them to another spot and this one is blooming for us for the first time.

From my notes I show I got Hemstitched from the swap but also that there may have been a noid purple and white that was a short iris as well as an early bloomer. Does anyone have an idea of what this one is?

Further back picture to show the height.

Whatever it is, it is a real stunner. Very visible from the house.

Not too many of the moved ones are showing flower stalks. Not sure if it is still too early or if they won't perform this year. At least one other will bloom as you can see the flower stalk off to the right.

I think this one is Champagne Elegance from Tomatoz1. Can you confirm or deny?

I'm trying to put labels in the ground next to the ones I can identify. This is the first time it has bloomed for us. We first put most of the iris in a bad location. Hopefully this works better.

Yes! That is Champagne Elegance. Love it.

The first one doesn't look like my Hemstitched. Mine has more white in the falls.

In the thread at the time there was a note on an early blooming short one that looked like this purple one I thought was from you. But I don't think there was a positive id on it. I don't remember planting any noids but I could have. I do remember getting one hemstitch. Does your hemstitch bloom early or with the other irises?

My Hemstitched iris is tall, lighter purple, more white in the fall, and the ’stitches’ are farther apart (?) its been blooming for at least 1+ weeks.

Who knows? Sometimes my taller iris are short (?). Because of the heavy rains we got, many this year are dwarfed.
