One More Pink - Looking For a Name

Charleston, SC(Zone 9a)

Here is one more pink that I can't seem to match with it's ID. No sign of rebloom so far for this one. Bloom height est 1.5-2ft. Below is a list of some of the pinks I have planted. This is not necessarily all of the pinks. I do have a list of all of my iris, so I'm not totally shooting in the dark here. If you come up with a possible match, I will know if I ever planted that one.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Here is the [partial] list of my pinks:

pink pincurls

Hi scutler,

Very sweet looking iris you have. You noted the bloom height at est. 1.5-2 feet; is it an IB or BB? If it is that short, then it could be fairly new and still be without the bells & whistles of rufflles and flaring...

If it is a TB it looks to be from the 1960's-early 1980's era in general.
Pink Swan would be the best match on your list by description but I do not know the plant myself.

A number you list are in the PF. I can tell you a few it is NOT:
pink pincurls - Heavily laced and ruffled

lacy day
elisa renee
lace jabot
designer gown
vanity
lace artistry
vanity's child
grateful citizen - blue-tipped beard
imaginarium - crimped edge

Not on your list but you may consider Pink Pussycat (Tompkins 1969: Pink self with white central area on F; pink beard.
It is possible you have one marked in error before it came to your garden.

As there looks to be a bit of peach in the fall - may check your database for 'peach'.


Happy Hunting!
