This was supposed to be After Hours (Duane Meek 1981). It's the right color, but the beard and the spoons say different. Now it's NoID#18 (Blue with Spoons). Any suggestions to an ID would be greatly appreciated.

Richard ~ I haven't a clue, but it is gorgeous!

gorgeous, but i am afraid i cannot help with an id.

Beautiful! But I don't have the faintest!

The closest I can find is Brothers in Arms which is described as blue.

Robin,

Thanks for the link to Brothers in Arms. The description and the colors are very close. I will tag this with NoID #18 ???Brothers in Arms???

That is one GORGEOUS iris.

ONLY 18? But beautiful

That number is going to grow real soon. My Stepping Out is not going to be Stepping Out.

Update: I received a reply from the grower who says it is "Aaron's Rod"





It's a toss up for me!!

Wow. I love this. If you ever decide to get rid of it because it doesn't have a name, send it on to me.

I don't think I'll be getting rid of it, but remind me in a few seasons when it's time to divide!!!

I agree!

I think it is absolutely gorgeous. I think my mom would love it because of the colour.

If the grower grows Aaron's Rod and not Brother In Arms I would think their guess is the correct one. Also, take pictures of yours in sunlight and the color will look much more like the Aaron pic. And irises with spoons often produce blooms with only horns so don't dismiss Aaron just because that pic only has horns.
