Scooterbug, thanks for defining SDB. (And for another iris link!)

Tazzy, I am really taken with that "Vingolf" as well as the "Hawaiian Holiday" ! How large is your garden? Mine can be as large as I can stand to weed, as we live on a dairy farm, and are rich in land (or rather, "land poor")

City lot with no grass except in flower bed needing weeding .
I was comical for years but just cant dig except when I feel good so i close at one time i had over 800 iris here . watch where you step LOL

Here is a picture of my pink iris...no idea what the name is though...it is absolutely beautiful!
JanetS

Janet! Those are simply gorgeous! Wonder what else I have that I can trade! LOL!

Deb

They are beautiful! They are short and early to bloom but they are so beautiful they really add a lot to my garden! I have them in several places and the color adjusts a little bit according to the sun they receive! Isn't that interesting!
JanetS

It looks like one of A, Enmsingers ( BB ) but cant think of name let me work on it and maybe Lauirlf will see it too she is good .and i am talking about the light pink
Is the one in middle of pic with rasbberry flush in halfs , same Iris ??

Tazzy,
It is all the same iris. Thanks for the input!
JanetS

Here are my dutch iris...

Here is an early bloomer..in the red family...no name again..it is a shorter iris...also as is the pink...

Here my blue getting ready to take over the spotlight in my garden for a few wekks! They are tall and wonderfully fragrant. Produce lots of flowers on each stem...very thick stems and healthy plants!

Lastly, a new addition I got from an old homestead in Ala. that belonged to a friend's mother that loved Iris...it is the palest lavendar I have ever seen, it almost white with just a tinge of lavendar...very genteel!

Unidentified pink IB looks like my Raspberry Blush. last years pic--not blooming yet this year.

caitlinsgarden, I bought Infinite grace in 1992 from Cooley's!

Wow! I'm gonna have to find room for some pink. That is beautiful, Wanda!

Janet i almost certain your iris is Fairy .

I'd send you some, but I kinda "overshared " last year and my poor clump is recovering. Great Intermediate & the rosy pink tones are a kicker.

I've never seen a pink iris in person. So glad you guys are sharing your pictures. I'm learning something new every day. :-)

Honey, pink iris are just the beginning....
