    These were bought and planted before I really started gardening so if they ever came with an ID tag I didn't know enough about plants to keep them.....or they might have been part of a mixed pack with no ID on them at all. Any ideas?

    Hate to double post but the Upload an Image function refused to allow me to add more photos to the previous post.

    Whatever their name is they are all pretty. And don't feel bad about not knowing. Lots of people have the 'unknown' plant's names fading away, mixed packages, or dogs/children puling up the tags. And then there ones like me, even with out my pup, that thinks they'll remember!

    I don't have a clue about their names Toni but they are gorgeous. I especially like the first one as I don't think I've ever seen one with those colours before.

    Hi. Really lovely Irises . Be great if you could get their names. This is just a thought but if you Google "Kelways Garden Irises" or "Kelways Tall Flag Irises" theres some really nice pics there - you may be lucky to spot one or two. Syd.

    I found that if you dig deep enough under the first layer of mulch put around a plant you just might find the label/tag. The third one came to me with the name Dragonheart.

    I need to go digging around the other two and hopefully will be as lucky.

    Those are beautiful Toni! I particularly like the first one ... not a color I have ever seen before!
