Help with an Iris ID Please

Rockford, IL(Zone 4b)

I planted a number of different varieties this year, and haven't finished with my labeling.

This is blooming now, which is a real surprise, since my early plants are just coming up. Even the hellebores haven't bloomed yet here.

The iris I bought were Blue Ribbon, Royal, Surprise, and Professor Blaauw. Here's a shot....

Well, I'm not familiar with the names of the irises you purhcased, so I'm of no help there. However, your iris definitely looks like I. Reticulata, if that narrows it down for you.

Thank you - I should have mentioned that it was Reticulata. I've looked up all of the ones that I bought, and this doesn't look like any of them. hmmmm. In another thread someone posted pics of Harmony - sure looks a lot alike.

I have 'Harmony', and it does look a lot like it. Maybe you got something else by mistake?

It wouldn't surprise me if they were marked incorrectly. They were extras from the neighbor who ordered from Springhill.

Thanks
