Need help identifying these

16 years ago

Hi. I am new to the iris forum. I have a few iris that I don't have names for. I understand that not all varieties are names, but some of these I bought and forgot the names. Others were in the yard when I arrived, and one was picked out of someone's trash. . . I am going to post a link to my Photobucket album and would appreciate any help!

Hi Becky,

Your iris are so pretty. I think the one you have marked as "Wabash" is correct. Thats the only one that I know. Picture #7 is awesome!! That;s one pretty IRis.

Thanks for sharing and maybe someone else can help ID, Mona

any chance you could post them upright?... I have a very hard time looking at things sideways. They look like Coccothrinax species, though.

Contact a Natuzzi dealer and they can probably help. In my experience even the cheapest Natuzzi is leather anywhere your body touches so maybe if it was a cheap sofa the back if all one piece will be vinyl for sure .

It doesn't look familiar--it may be very old and not manufactured any more. Do you need this exact piece? Or maybe look to see what's available in your price range with a similar look?

It doesn't matter. You will get the look with literally any pure white solid surface, and yes, even Corian! What is the rest of your bath, all the materials? The original pic was an Instagram, ( slightly less blurry below ) not Pinterest. Put all your materials together, and it isn't the bench or the curb top driving your love of the inspiration pic.: ) - it might be a hazy photo?

Thanks to both of you for your suggestions. I have re-labeled the purple one - I was afraid that was a "no name" since I have an abundance of them. I am glad that "Wabash" is correct since my parents were from Indiana! Iris #4, the purple and gold one, came from a neighbor's trash pile.

Wabash was more purplish for me. It could be my soil type. I have learned that there are several Wabash imposters in circulation. The first picture was too blue, but the second is more like Wabash. Wabash is easily confused with Helen Collingwood.

Your two tone purple is not AMAS. Too much red in it.
May be ALCAZAR.

Thanks! They were hidden under a large holly bush and rotting when I dug them up last summer. They have made a great recovery.

My favorite irises seem to be the ones I "find" or "liberate" from a spot where they are not appreciated! :)) Your iris with the light blue standards and deeper blue falls COULD be Mariposa Skies. Does anyone else agree? Also, Google "Garden of Mu" - there is a man there, I believe he is "Mike", lives in Washington State, he is amazing at ID-ing irises. He helped me find the names of some really older varieties in my garden. Good luck!

Thanks brommad and shapiro. I think "Star Status" is correct and will label it. "Mariposa Skies" may be correct too - I bought that one from Dutch Gardens and am embarrassed to say that I have misplaced the name. But "Mariposa Skies" has a familiar ring to it . . .
