These are blooming for the first time this year. Does anyone have anything like them and any ideas as to who they may be? I can research your suggestions and any help is appreciated. Thanks. Linda
This first one is very short and I think it's a Mini, since it's smaller than my shortest SDB. The color in the picture is true, and it is somewhat fragrant. Could it be Grapelet?
This plant is also short and small, so I think it is a Mini. Here is the best picture that I have. It was received in a trade as "purple and white," which it is! Any ideas on who it is?

Possibly 'Flea Circus' but you would have to get another & grow it along side. Check the Winterberry catalog if you can find it or if a friends has it.
I was at Shadowood Iris looking through their list of Mini's and I came up with two possibilities -Flea Circus and Pixie Flirt, for my second picture. But after looking at pictures of Flea Circus here at Dave's, I don't think it's that one. FC has some red violet shading on the top edges of the falls. There is no red violet shading on mine.
But thank you for the suggestion irisMA, and I will continue to look at other pictures of FC just to be sure.

In addition Pixie Flirt has a very clean fall center, without the lines towards the center. Do you know where the person in your trade buys her plants? that might give more suggestions.IDs can be fun or a problem depending on which way you look at it.
Nope, sorry, I don't think any of your guesses are correct. Grapelet doesn't have the haft markings shown in your first pic, and neither Flea Circus nor Pixie Flirt are matches for the second. I'm afraid I don't know who your unknowns are.

We must keep looking. We have more plicata minis than selfs.
