This is the first year in 4 that I will see all my irises bloom. I struggled for 4 years with rot and the iris borer. Last year I was ruthless and sent every iris I had that was affected to the green bin. Finally, it worked and this season there are healthy irises and most are blooming. However, I have lost tags. Can anyone guess as to the names of these ones?

I have pictures of every one I have ever bought but these don't match. Maybe misnamed?

Second one: Acoma?
Third one: sorry - not sure.

Wow. Thank you so much. Both Victoria Falls and Acoma were in my garden but I have never seen them bloom so I thought they were gone. I am sure you are right.
Two out of three---anyone recognize the third one and the fourth?

The last one looks like Paul Black.

I am wondering if the third one could be Jerico Springs. Did you ever order that one?

The third photo is similar to Cross Current. But the beards are different.

No, I have never ordered that one but thanks for looking. However, I have had Proud Tradition. It bloomed for me last year and I thought I removed it all. However, my memory being what it is---thank you. I think that is it. Hurray!

'Acoma' comes to mind....
