Here is a collage of irises currently blooming. Can anyone ID? Bonjon?

These irises do have purple at the base of the fans.

#3 is definitely a pallida or pallida cross with those floppy leaves. Does it smell like grape koolaid?

Pollyk: Yes; it does smell like grape Koolaid.

all these are, by flower form, historics. have you tried looking through the HIPS (Historical Iris Preservation Society) website at their photos?

as much as l love the look and scent of the old irises, it's the modern ones that have my heart. am just barely learning the old ones.

Angie, then I would say it's definitely pallida. There are some named varieties of pallida, but you'll never identify one of them. Just call it pallida.

I have no clue on the other ones.

TY, Pollyk, for your help on the blue one. I inherited some of these from family and some from a previous house owner, so I know they are old ones.
