If you got a mislabelled iris...

| ... from a very reputable iris grower, would you e-mail them a picture and ask if they could tell you what it really is?
I got this TB from Chuck Chapman three years ago and it hasn't bloomed until now, and it's nothing I ordered. It's also not currently on his website. I'm a little embarassed to accuse them of mislabeling but I would like to know what it is, I think it's rather nice. (BTW do any of you recognize it?)

| Oh yes, you should let them know. I'm sure they would be happy to correct the problem and to give you a name for the iris they mistakenly sent, even if they no longer sell it. It is a very pretty iris, and I wish I could help you with an ID.

| I don't know Chapman's iris enuf to hazard a guess. They will be very happy to replace or refund/credit. Every grower has this happen now and then. Most even have guarantees stated on their websites. If you learn its identity please let us know :-) |

| Thanks. I e-mailed him and explained that I wasn't complaining, just wanted to know the name. I don't even know what it was supposed to be because I moved and the names got mixed up and a couple died in the winter. I'll let you know what he says. I think it's a nice iris too, but the best thing about it is that it's a big TB that is actually increasing here in zone 2/3. |

| So Chuck e-mailed me back and said it's something that showed up in one of his plantings of Cinnamon Girl. That is one iris I had ordered so it makes sense. He doesn't know if it's named or if it is just a seedling or a sport. |

| Thanks NorthSpruce. It really looks to be a nice pastel. Hope you receive Cinnamon Girl --- quite a different look! |
