Now bear in mind my climate makes colors darker because it is colder in Maine.

Noid 2 is most likely Helen Collingwood by K Smith 1949. Check to see if it reaches around 38"in height and blooms near ML season. This is a very good example of a neglecta because it is almost an amoena. Standards are very pale lavender. Falls are deep purple violet. Beard is white tipped yellow. AM award 1952.

My photo is from my garden and I got my Helen collingwood from Historical Iris Preservation Society's 2005 sale.
