That's it - Firebird!! Thanks. This is the 2nd year I've had this in my perennial/butterfly garden. I had it to fill a hole and liked it so much I came back for anotehr year. Hummingbirds loved it. (and I guess bumble bees).

It looks like an Alocasia (E Ears) to me. As to what type, we will have to wait until it "flowers", its technically not a flower, but anyway Ed

Hi Marie, :) I think the small one will most likely have white flowers, unless it's some sort of hybrid. I added a chart of Pachy flowers. It might be sideways since I uploaded from my phone. Mark This post was edited by Maark23 on Fri, Jul 11, 14 at 0:24

That's a lovely, very pale, orchid pink (yellow beards) on my screen. Missing 2 of the standard (top) petals makes it difficult to see its form. It's possibly an historic. I like how the falls have a bleeding beige edge. Your local iris grower may have more information about it if he/she doesn't know the name, ie. how many years it has been around, possble hybridizer --- every bit of info helps. Also measure from dirt to top of the top bloom for height. Altho that can vary year to year, it can indicate if it's a tall bearded or median. And a record or sketch of how many branches it has can also help in the id process. Sorry I don't have a name for you.
