Welcome!

You're asking for recommendations for cultivars? You love Neglecta's and Plicatas, not too much froo froo, no space agers. (although you're missing some really nice cultivars here).

October Sky (below) meets some of your requirements - Neglecta, reblooms - not a plicata. But there are plenty of those out there. (Sutton's Iris has a list of rebloomers by reliability and zone). Daughter of Stars is blue and will rebloom. Wintry Sky is a really beautiful bi blue.

Pink Flamingos is a very pretty one if you like simple pink. If you buy Beverley Sills though she's peach and not pink.

Harvest of Memories is a very simple yellow that is a reliable rebloomer.
You should go through the current threads of cultivars by color and the one of your favorite iris photo.

How many do you want? How much do you want to spend?? Bottom line is that the prices are all over the map.
