Does someone know this cultivar.......Iris Germanica........

I bought it many years ago and lost trough the years it's identity :-(((
If there is a real iris speciallist, rise now.....

Wow! Gorgeous John!!! That's a historic for sure and not a modern variety. Laurie or Wanda would be your "experts" but my guess is that they are going to say it's hard to ID from a photo.

You ARE getting addicted to Daves Garden aren't you? ;-)

I am affraid some will say that. But it is a very good picture.

And yes you have getting my into something ;-))

John, that iris is really a knock-out. Maybe you can match up your iris with these photos of Historics on this link. It is the official link on Historics.

Good luck! :-)

John,

That is a very beautiful old iris. I love the historics with velvet textured falls. langbr is correct. It is impossible to positively ID an iris from a photo ... even a very lovely photo like yours. For more information on the lengthy process of attempting to identify unknown irises, I suggest you read the articles at the following URLs:
