My project lately has been to ID all the irises in my garden. I have about a dozen unidentified and wondered if I could start with maybe 3 and see if anyone knows what they are? Thank you, Louise in CA

This first one is a strange shape different from my others. I don't even know what this type is called.

The second seems rather different with its white beards. I'll appreciate any help or advice.

This last one seems like it is a "heritage": type which I thought would be an easy ID, but I sure can't find it.

Do you ever wonder if you have too

Your second iris looks like Eleanor Roosevelt.

Hi,

Have you used Roundup or another weed killer near that first one? It looks a little like damage from getting too close,

Thanks all for the welcome. I'm still trying to figure out how to post here. Thanks for the suggestions. Charlotte, I don't think it's a Roundup issue. I have bees so I am careful about that. But, I will watch for it again. I just thought it was a different form.
