This beauty came with our property and I'd love to know what it is.
What I know:
Was planted sometime between 1982 and 2006. I'm guessing from the rhizome clump that it was most likely between 2000-2004.
Blooming now in zone 8A.
Has three blooms per stalk.
I'd be happy to give any other information if anyone has specific questions to help in identification.
It's beautiful! How tall is it and how big is the bloom, inches across? Is it just opening?
I'm not a very good identifier, but will try along with everyone else. As least you'll get some ideas.
Looks alot like Imprimis.

I'll second that guess of Imprimis. That is so pretty. The coloring on the S & F, the beard, the striping on the hafts look like the same iris.
Could also be Chinese Treasure
I'm voting for Impremis (blyth'93) myself. Time to pull the old trick about planting one next to it?
It looks kinda like chinese treasure, but I believe My C.T. has an orange beard
nope, on my machine not Chinese treasure colors, especially beard
My two cents: "Imprimus"
it's beautiful, Rat. What a great picture!! Please post in plantfiles.
Now I am convinced and want Imprimis to go with my other Blyth's.
Algaedarling, whatever it is, we all want it, so be sure you post it on here when you get ready to divide it for trading! It's a keeper for SURE.

Wait until you see next years by Blyth! Makes Decadance and Adoree look so so...
Don't kill me yet hope to post pictures here this spring of some of them
D
I agree, that is Imprimis. Rat, that is GREAT photo!
Dee, I hope to see those pics of Blyth's new ones for next year!
I will try not to sob about my Decadence which seems to have rotted without help from the gophers! Just rescued Drinks at Sunset from rambunctions new dog before she did too much damage. Just finished planting it in the front yard where she doesn't get to go except on leash. It is critter time in the Rockies!
Thank you for your answers all! I agree that it definitely appears to be Imprimis and have added my photo to the Plantfiles. When I divide it, I will certainly post it here for trading, though I will need instructions on how to ship it properly. I'm pretty new to this. :-)
TB irises are usually shipped bareroot in July and August. very very easy.
Well, I would definitely like to trade you something for it. I will check to see what I have to trade.
