This was a nice one we saw last Saturday.  Unfortunately there was no label.

The one received as "cristata" looks like Iris aphylla.

I'm sure it's right Michael. I agree with Maggi and Oleg, a beautiful colour.

Unbelievable Iris everyone.

The heat over here, much hotter than forecast, has ruined all of my Iris flowers. On Friday a.m. they were stunning. I went away for the weekend and they are finished.

Only one is left in flower and it's a lost label. I dont remember buying it, getting it as a gift or thieving it :o ;D If the height is needed I'll get it in the morning

Looks like another of those lovely older tbs. Haven't a clue as to the name though.
