| I thought maybe it was Jessie's Song but now I am not so sure. I got a truck load of them from a person moving into a new home and ripping out the existing gardens.

| It is an older form of plicata than Jesse's song. i would suggest trying HIPS website as it looks like a historic type of irises to me. You can get the site through http://www.irises.org whic is the AIS site & click on the historic site. |

| Note that your flower has blue lines on the hafts, but Blue Shimmer does not. Close, but not there. |

| I would say closest to S. Francisco. Look at the beards. Are they yellow? |

| The beard tip is white and gets sort of a creamy yellow near the throat. Does it matter that mine has a wider band of purple color along the bottom edge? |
