Hi pirl,

I'm wondering how certain you are of the identification of this iris? It doesn't appear to match Stepping Out, which generally has a minimal amount of white on the standards and a very heavy band of color on the falls.

Thanks,

Kent

Kent, I bought it from Schreiner's and that was the name on the tag. Here's a photo of when I planted it on 9/7/2015.

Now I'm confused with dates but the above information is accurate. It may be one I had bloom and loved it so much that I bought it again.

I suspect they sent you Rare Treat by mistake, although there are several other very similar irises in the Schreiner collection. I am certain it's not Stepping Out, though.

I agree it does look more like Rare Treat, definitely not Stepping Out. They would send you the correct one if you contact them.

Should I change the name to Stepping Out on all the photos I submitted? It would be the first mistake I've had with Schreiner's and I can't imagine them having such similar irises, planted so closely. That would invite errors.

No, they'll have to be deleted or moved to the general Iris entry, but I can take care of that. Thumbs up

Let's move them to generic while pirl contacts Schreiners
