    Hi some of my iris are in flower and would like to have them identified so I can put a name to the flowers

    I don’t think that any of these are heritage or old types as they were recently purchased.

    This is a yellow top with brown bottom, unnamed
    Henham came up a close picture in a image search, does anyone know this iris name

    This is a white iris, unsure how many white iris are out there – probably hundreds, if anyone can name it that would be great.

    Bearded iris are very hard to name unless there is a distinctly different marking or color.
    I have been growing them for years and still get fooled by some.
    From your pics, your iris are not noticeably different to many I see. You may just have to resign yourself to having a few noids. .
    Your white iris look to me like one of the older herittage ones.
    There is a similar white iris which grows around my area that can be very invasive if left alone to multiply.

    More pics to add:
    Woo have another rocket turn up, so I know I have two bulbs of this one.

    Heres a old’e type, its purple with purple

    I would guess the third pic is a blue

    And my new favourite is lavender with brown!

    On a warm day they have a light perfume, some are nice and other are like why did I sniff that!
