Another Iris ID (pic heavy)

9 years ago

Hello again and a preemptive thank you for everyone's help.

I'm trying to identify the irises that came with this house as they bloom, so here is another. This one just opened today, and as you can see from the yardstick in the third picture is quite tall and well established. It's currently a favorite- check out that pinkish purple bi-tone! The internet leads me to think Alpine Glow or Autumn Sunset maybe?

Thank you again for all everyone's help,
~ Laura

Great id pics. I think 'Alpine Glow' also. The only other close one is 'Easter Bonnet' and it has a little golden climbing up the outer edges of the standards plus color not as intense.

I've never seen 'Melanie'. It looks very much like lilangel's iris! Found one picture of it online. Linked below.
