Thanks, John for the link. With such abundance of varieties it's easy to be mistaken, Christo. Anyway, this is the only one I have and still cant decide what I like more: the exuberance of "Sensation" or a quieter appeal of a species (I.ensata).

Has anyone looked in the Standard Dwarf Bearded section of that Wiki Encyclopaedia? There's one called 'Baubles and Beads,' yellow and literally black. Wow!

I thought I had a good collection of them - well, I have - but it doesn't even touch the sides. There are thousands illustrated, except, funnily enough, two I looked for, 'Cherry Lavender' and 'Cherry Pop.' Mine are true so come the spring I can maybe upload pictures for them.

Iris louisiana 'Rhett'
I. ensata 'Rose Queen'
I. spuria 'Sunset Colours'
and four seedling spurias, the last one looks similar to one Oleg posted a couple of pages ago.  The yellow ones have a light fruity fragrance.  The spuria irises can take a while to get going but then are really easy, reliable plants, drought tolerant and don't need splitting as the beardeds do.

John, David, thanks for those links.
Gail, absolute stunners, only have Iris xanthospuria, have purchased selections as rhizomes but they just don't seem to establish
very well here.

Angie my first thought was fungus. I have not seen this before but my guess is a fungus of some sort.

Thanks, I have just started with Irises and thought I might be keeping them to dry, but this is the only one that has this marks.
