Iris x dardanus. Considerable thanks to everyone who took the trouble to shine a bright light onto my ignorance. My assumption as to nomenclature was based on the absence of the convention for cultivar names i.e. presentation as I. 'Dardanus' missing from the initial query and kindly pointed out by David Victor & Robert Pries, to whom specifically, given that we have both putative parents here maybe I could take a punt at crossing them in both directions and see what they look like, although maintaining horticultural hybrids here isn't something I would normally consider but my nose is now bothering me; all I need to do next year is to try to remember to attempt it, an unreliable memory might conspire against the venture, one wonders of course whether respective flowering is synchronous in both taxa, otherwise such a project would take an extra season presumably. Once again, many thanks to everyone.
