Thanks so much for your input. It really looks like a Siberian species. It was sold to me as Iris Chrysographes but doesn't look like any photos of that iris I've seen. And the color is a nice blue. I did look in Iris of China and on page 95, you mention a Gold-veined Iris. I haven't had time to go through the key and probably won't. We just finished the iris show. I put Iris versicolor on it and won a ribbon. A friend put in something she said I gave her and told her it was an iris. I don't have anything like it in my garden so I'm sure I didn't give it to her. I would not have given her my only one. It looks like Pattersonia to me. She put I. Moraea on it and got a blue ribbon. See why I invited you to come speak on species??? Anyway, we are still cleaning up equipment from both the SF Flower & Garden Show and the local iris show. Our youngest daughter, husband and our youngest grandchild (22 months old) are coming this weekend. I was scheduled to attend the Region 14 Spring Regional but the grandchild will come first. He lives in Montana and we have only seen him 4 times. He is a real sweet little boy and neither Wayne nor I want to miss a minute of his visit. Our garden is open to the public and some of our other children and gr andchildren are coming while the youngest is here. One child and the oldest granddaughter will probably not get time off work to make the trip. That's why I probably won't have much time to figure out what iris this is. I took more photos of it today along with photos of the albino hummingbird we have in the garden. It's awesome. It's young, so dazzling bright and beautiful. Our bearded iris are blooming well now with buds forming on the Siberian, Spuria, Louisiana and Japanese. Enjoy the beauty of Spring flowers! Thanks, Carolyn
