Randi, I left a message on your facebook page. You iris is some sort of a tall bearded historic iris, but I cannot ID it. You may want to check out the HIPS website to see if any of their photos match yours, but I would post the photo on the Historic Iris Preservation site on Facebook to see if someone can ID it there.

Saying a grub is white is kind of like saying the sky is blue. Post a picture, and I'll give it a whirl. Two or more pictures would be better, one showing the overall appearance, one showing a sideshot of the head as closeup (in focus) as you can get it, and another showing the pattern you noticed. Oh, a shot of the underside would be helpful, too.

Thanks for all the replies! I tried to choose a photo that is pretty true to life, color-wise. I will have to go out and measure the stems. It has quit blooming for the season so I'll have to sort of guess at the height of these irises. I should have done that before when there were still blooms on it. It's definitely not Blue Flag. This is a bearded iris, I'm just not sure of whether it's tall or medium. After looking around some, I found an iris that it could be...Stellar Lights which is dated back to 1988 so this one is a possibility. I've been trying to remember if my iris is a rebloomer, which Stellar Lights is. It seems to me that I have seen blooms in the later summer. I appreciate all your help! Thanks a million! Ginni

Thanks a bunch to kaktuskris for the ID! Looking at larger specimens I had no idea they get so monstrously huge! Now for cuttings! Can I (and how should I) pop the buds off and replant them? I'm residing in zone 8a, and I'm waiting for the end of the growing season to replant the whole thing it in a more suitable & stable pot, but I am curious if it's better to attempt cuttings during growth season or after?
