I have several patches of these that originally came from grandma's beds. The digital through off the colors on the top right... the others are the best blues. Hopefully the measurement will help in IDing. I got this idea of the HIPS site on how to go about IDing old irises... this of course would even work with any iris in general.

This old quy or gal does not have a fragrance and would fit in the old TB class. This could be an iris registered in the 1970s but I don't think grandma has any thing from the 80s in up. The HT. is from about 27" up to 38". It's foliage starts a blue green and rises to a standard green at tips. For flower color description... oh a medium blueish purple self and style arms with gold orange beards tipped in light yellow.
