Irises: Help With A Name For TB, 1 by Igrowinpa

I received quite a few un-named irises in the fall of '06 in trades. Not only did many of the people who sent them not know their names, they didn't know the colors they would be. Most said probably purple or yellow. One by one, as they bloom, I'm taking pictures and will try to find out names that I could research.

I think that many of these plants will be "hand-me-down" type of irises that are passed from friend to friend. Possibly they will be historics. If I can get even a few suggestions on names, I will do more research and look at pictures on-line.

This is the best picture I was able to get of this iris - colorwise. I took pictures three different days, and times of day to try to get the color as I see it. It is a TB, and I noticed that the standards do not stay up as nice as the newer hybrids. They tended to droop, as in this picture. I did not notice a strong fragrance. Thanks for any help you can give me.
