True BLUE iris

Hello all, just wondering what are some true blue color iris not lavender?

One is Babbling Brook. It is a light true blue. BEV

Thank you Bev pretty!

I have a dark blue rebloomer which didn't even bloom this yr but don't know the name.

You can also get "Fiesta in Blue" and "Monet's Blue" -- both are very pretty true blues. If you want one that is blue with dark blue beards, you can get "Codicil". "Sugar Blues" is a very nice true blue that is also a reliable rebloomer in Zone 6 AND it smells like bubble gum!
Lots of choices -- all of these have pictures in DG.

Thank you all

Here is Sea Power also....

Or Aegean Blue

Waterdragon is probably the truest medium blue iris in my garden.

Breakers is real pertty, a strong grower and a rebloomer.

Lovely pictures! Thank you

That Waterdragon is a beautiful blue, I agree. WOW!

I don't have any photos to post, but I love the color of Aqua Taj (it's an IB) and Fires of Fiji (an SDB)

Thank you Mudgirl!

Here is Codicil -- very blue.

Beautiful, I love the blues. From the papery spathes, I'd guess that it is pretty old, too.

Does Babbling Brook have blue beards? I have one that I am trying to ID that looks like it.

No, not according to the pictures in PlantFiles.

Actually Codicil is from 1984. Can't explain the papery spathes. Here it is in plant files:

And here is Nahalem Bay. R&I says the top is white, but in my garden it is very light blue. It's falls are a medium blue. Very elegant looking.

And here is Baby Blue Marine, a true blue IB.

That was one of my favorites!

Raining again !
So I am so glad I run acroos this thread since blue is one of my alltime favorit colors and these GEORGEOUS blues you're all showing just took my breath away.

I have one blue which is a wonderful iris,have to go out and see if I can rescue a tag which hasn't faided or washed away.I wait until the rain stops.
