Brenda,

That first unknown you posted looks like it might possibly be 'Rameses' or 'Frank Adams'. That's an ID I'm currently struggling with in my own garden. I received an iris as 'Rameses' from a friend, but the ID might have been incorrect (as happens with so many older historics). Then a friend who grows both R and FA looked at the pic of mine and thought it looked more like FA than R. This summer I received rzs of what are supposed to be accurately identified R and FA. If R, FA, and "probably either R or FA" will all bloom in the same year, perhaps I'll get to the bottom of all this and have a positive ID for my original plant.

In the meantime, here's a pic of the plant I originally received as 'Rameses', but which might be 'Frank Adams' or possibly something else altogether.
