Wow, wow, wow! I couldn't believe my eyes when this opened. Where did I get this? LOL
ID this White Iris?
Oh, and forgot to say I believe it is a dwarf. Definitely shorter than my others.
It is positively a white iris ?
And it is beautiful
Does it rebloom? It sure looks like Immortality and that one is a very short tall Bearded.
I don't know, Doss, but I sure hope so. I got several iris from a friend of my mom when she moved away last year. She didn't think the new owners would take care of her gardens so she let me and mom dig up a bunch of stuff before she put her house on the market. (And she was right about the new owners.)
I love that white Iris!! I sure hope it is Immortality, because I planted that one last fall. Hasn't bloomed yet. I'll post a photo when it does.

Thanks, Susan. I hope it is Immortality, too, so I will have a name for mine!!
Thanks to the plantfiles, there's always a photo.

Thanks, Doss! I wasn't thinking. It sure looks like mine to my eyes. What do you think?
It sure could be Immortality. But I think that you should feed it about a month after it blooms with 5-10-10. If it reblooms, then you have a better idea. Feed it again after rebloom. The only way to know is to plant another Immortality and see how it grows. For instance, Fancy Dress, a 36" iris only gets to about 20" in my yard. Although Fancy Dress is easily identifiable, a white Iris is another thing altogether. One thing though, Immortality is a very popular Iris, a lot of people have it, and so it's more likely that you have it than not. Mine are blooming right now. Along with 'Conjuration'. It's better in person and VERY tall.

Oh, that is lovely, Doss. My white one is only about 24 inches but plantfiles says 24-36 on Immortality, I think. Thanks for the feeding tip.
My Immortality has never been even near 36"
White Flower Farm says 29". Those size ranges in the plant files aren't very helpful for Iris ID.

Here it is blooming next to 'Sugar Blues' which is a 36" iris. 'Harvest of Memories' is blooming in front of it but it's leaning in from the side. It's also 36" but doesn't look like it here. Anyway, you can see the relative size of 'Immortality.
What a beautiful picture. That definitely looks like my white. I'll feed it and hope it reblooms!
My Immortaliy are budding up & never get taller than 24 inches. Wait & see if it blooms in the fall for positive ID.
Okay. Thank you all!!
