don't know if this is the same one, & sorry about the breezy day.

It looks bluish in this pic, but it usually looks pinker.

Here is a link that might be useful: Afterglow

ever get an answer? I have many of these in my new/old garden, a garden with beautiful beginnings but neglected by the previous owner (she had a great deal of stress. can't fault her!). They are fairly unexciting because of their pale colorations, in my mind. I wondered about what type they were. The purple coloring of mine is very light, not like other purple/yellow species I've seen on the web, which have more vivid shades.

Looks like a tall bearded historic iris to me. There are a bunch that look very much alike. Therefore it would be hard to tell for sure which one it is.

No matter what the name is, it's still a lovely iris.

Good Luck,
Marian
