Langbr - - you were looking for something similar to seedling #2 in the Mid-America thread. These are the ones that I grow or have grown - which have the (near) white standards and maroon falls you are looking for. This one is "Stunning Serenade". It was introduced in 1995.
This one is older and has nice coloring to it. It's named "Repartee". It was introduced in 1996.
Another one with those colors (or close) is this one. "Dance Hall Dandy". It was introduced in 1994.
Now, there is another nice one out there, but it's falls have more of a wine color to it. It was a 2004 introduction at Cooleys Iris Gardens. Kind of pricey last year, but should be cheaper this year. This is from their 2004 page.

That is all I can find. Maybe others can add to this pictures and we could come up with a pretty good list.

If I had know I would come across all 3 photos of this one, I would have put them in all one posting. :-) I hope more photos or links will be posted too - of other irises out there too that are similar.
