The main iris bed had not been weeded since 1999. Our WWOOFer Nate helped me renovate it in 2013. In 2014 I had 2 flowers, both the yellow type. I have an abundance of the light/dark purples. I'll have to trade some of them for other colors. I got a yellow flag in 2015, but no photos yet.
This old fashioned variety is called Honorabile, dating from1840.
White Siberian
Blue flag iris. No one told it that it only thrives is damp areas....
These large white iris are probably White Reprise from 1984. That was the first year I had iris, and these were those first ones.
This variety is "Perfection" introduced in 1880.
This may be the variety "Armageddon" introduced in 1992
This variety may be "Alcazar" introduced in 1910.
I also have yellow flag in the 3rd garden but it’s a recent acquire and I haven’t gotten a photo of it.

I used to have a nice selection of iris. They are great flowers.
Thanks for sharing yours with us @goldenoakfarm!

The Siberian definitely do not have a damp place and have lived there for the best part of 20 years...
