Help ID'ing this

Does anyone recognize this guy? This is a wonderful rebloomer but I don't know what it is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here's the clump, it blooms for me 2 or 3 times a year. If I can't ID it, I'm going to offer it to anyone who wants it, I have 5 clumps of it and with no ID, it's taking up 5 spaces for named irises.

Hi Louise,

It looks like there may be a couple of possibilities. Since it reblooms, and has lighter beards I would think it is either:
Sugar Blues http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/27988/
or
Victoria Falls http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/36890/

VICTORIA FALLS is the more circulated one. SUGAR BLUES is a child of Victoria Falls

Do you remember ever owning one of these two?

I do have Victoria Falls but never had it planted here in the little garden. Never had Sugar Blues. It does look like Victoria Falls, I will compare when it blooms in the big garden. That's sure a good start. Thanks my friend for your help.

well, it is a lovely color and i love that it reblooms! if you do decide to trade some of it, please let me know, i would love to try it in my garden! :-)

You got it Tracie. If I can't positively ID it, it's going bye bye!

i am looking for plants that have my daughters name, Victoria. she is 10 and does a pretty good job helping her old ma in the garden. i am going to trade with another dger in the spring for some fans of a daylily that she has called "Miss Victoria", my daughter is sooo excited! i also want to get some with my sons name, Alex. but, the only dl that i have seen with his name is pretty expensive. he loves alligators, so i told him that the Spacecoast Gator Eye daylily that i got was for him. he thought that was great!

If you go to

and enter Victoria in the cultivar line, you'll find a whole list of plants with that name. Ditto for Alex.

thank you so much for the link!

Louise,
Another clue that may help you: VICTORIA FALLS can grow up to 40 inches tall, and SUGAR BLUES will only grow up to 36 inches tall.

Grannymarsh, even I wasn't aware of that! One can learn something every day! Thanks for sharing that info with us.

~Margie

This is Victoria Falls She is distinct becasue of the white spot that she often throws in her offspring

Good luck in finding out what this pretty blue is

:)
Anita

They're pretty similar aren't they? Thanks av and Margie for your help.

That's right Anita................I forgot about that distinct white area next to the beard.

Louise - - if that white area /next close to the beard is not there, then it probably is NOT Victoria Falls. It may be SUGAR BLUES. Unless someone else can think of another probable match.

~Margie

Sugar Blues does have white hafts and shoulders so maybe

I'll look at it again very closely and see if it's there Margie.
Thanks again all.
