I think there are over 60,000 iris introductions. Without knowing the year or the hybridizer it's nxt to impossible to id these 2 yellows. :-(

Good shots of the beard and haft area. You can tell they are different cultivars
by their beards.

Iris, there is no way of naming them just by viewing? I got them from Home Depot? I did not keep a list, but I understand they are never true to the packaging label?

Rose, there's a bit more hope for yours because of the less common shade of yellow, the blunt ending beard, the slight picotee fall edge at the slightly darker haft area. Its vertical standards make me think it may be a recent introduction (past 10 yrs.?)..

Alas I am not acquainted with the yellows of the past 10 years. I will keep my eyes open for any similar looking ones. You can visit BlueJ Iris and look at their yellow catagory. Might get lucky.

As to Home Depot and other big box chains, most people report theirs to be untrue to the pkg. I've had the same experience but with packaged daylily roots.

Enjoy your iris and tag it 'Home Depot Yellow' :-)

Whatever the name...it is quite beautiful! I'll be searching for the "Home depot Yellow" this fall.

My yellow one from Home Depot or Lowe's that bloomed this year had the name "Gold Galore".

I found an image of it "New Moon" it looks very much like it.

Gibsongirl, e-mail me in October I will send you a rhizome. I've got two plants.
