Michael I cannot help with Id's but the last Iris might be the same as the one I showed as I.pallida ssp. cengialtii??

Michael your first germanica? photos look like a more modern cultivar.
I have no idea on a name

[Michael J Campbell]

Thanks Luit,  a miss-spelling on the original label.

Thanks Luit,  a miss-spelling on the original label.

For a Dutchman it could have been Gaelic as well 

Sorry Michael, this was not seriously meant

Is anyone able to put a name to this Iris please, it was a gift from a friend who also doesn't know what it is.

I think it could be Iris variegata.

Here are two TBs, one I imported from the USA some years ago, the other is from Cayeaux.  I'm sure you can guess which is from where.

Crow's Feet
Paris Fashion

I forgot to post this siberica hybrid.  A tetraploid I hope to get seed from this season.

I think it is probably an early Miniature Tall Bearded (MTB) cultivar selected from or based on I variagata. There are/were quite a lot of them. One whose name springs to mind is Bumblebee Delight

[Tom Waters]

I agree with Peter. It would be quite unusual for the actual I. variegata to have such solid color in the falls; it is usually reddish veins on a creamy or white ground.

I too agree with Peter and Tom.
SIGNA has a Checklist of Iris Part 2 Alphabetical cultivar list of variations and hybrids of Iris species published in 1999 which would be useful if you really get into irises.

Some TB Irisses in flower in my garden:

'Exotic Isle'
'Loop the Loop'
'Mary Frances'
'Roman Rythm'
and two of which I don't know the name.

Also 'Leprechauns purse', a SDB is flowering here now.

Ooh Pat I am trying not to, we don't have enough room!  Unfortunately succumbed to Mr Cayeux's catalogue last year to add to the ones we already grow.

The solid fall colour was puzzling me after googling I.variegata, but this picture:

is a dead ringer so thank you Peter, it is probably Bumblebee Delight, and will be labelled Iris - probably Bumblebee Delight.
Many thanks for your help, I knew someone would have the knowledge!
