Hi Dani,

When I moved into my grandpa's old house 20 years ago, I discovered a similar iris under the old oleander. No leaves, just rotted old rhizomes that had not been watered for years.

When I moved them to the sun and watered them, I got as many as 27 flowers per fan! My dad saw them and remembered mowing them off with the lawnmower as a teen.

I have not been able to ID the old lavendar iris, nor have I been able to ID the old white one I have. There are so many, and they look so much alike! But it is nice about the scent, isn't it?

yeah, the blue ones are amazing!!! I'm hoping the yellow ones I ordered are just as hardy. My mom rememers the yellow ones as a kid and it smelled like lemons..

I know t's hard to id things. I just thought that maybe because they seem to be EVERYWHERE that they'd be like a species or something???

Try iris pallida for the one pictured. It's a form of pallida, I believe. You'll probably never know which form, or if it's just a wild cross, but pretty sure pallida.

The yellow may have been Flavescens.
