Bearded Irises-2012

[WimB]

Who comes up with these names? I think that plant has just died of embarrasement 

 

The second one might be 'Snugglebug'

Oh! . Thanks again Wim, ( I think ),

I won't tell it if you dont,

[Lesley Cox]

Ron I'm pretty sure I have your third one too, but not as 'Chubby Cherub.' Can't remember just now but should be able to check in the spring. This is not to say that Wim is wrong, far from it. More, it goes to show what I said earlier that different breeders come up with the same result and each gives HIS (or her) plant, a different name. It's a nice one, whatever. One of the more embarrassing names, to my mind, is 'Kissimee' though the iris itself is nice.

[ronm]

I hope you're right Lesley about the third one, 'Chubby Cherub' indeed.
But then if it turns out to be something like 'Kissimee', argh! even worse.
Thanks everyone for your help in ID'ing our irises. Only a few more to go. 

[WimB]

There's also a 'Jolly Joey' which is quite similar to 'Chubby Cherub', but like Lesley said, a lot of them are similar!

[ronm]

Cheers Wim,

How you guys remember all of these amazes me,

Thank you.  When I saw your I. reichenbachii I realised thats the name of the one I've also got flowering in a sink in the front garden at the moment.  Such a lovely plant!

My Jolly Joey doesn't look like the one on frazer.com

Jolly Joey looks like the one on Frazer, see a picture of that one from Cayeux: http://www.iris-cayeux.com/pictos/articles/g/jollyjoey.jpg and here on the Iris Encyclopedia: http://wiki.irises.org/bin/view/Main/Mdb/MdbJollyJoey

Lovely irises Alpinelover, and a real treat for me to see 'Ablaze' again after so long. I think it was the first MDB I ever had, maybe 50 years ago. I don't have it now though.

What beautiful irises and so happy and healthy Alpinelover
