I am so proud of this photo. i am pretty sure the names are correct and i think if so they are parent and child blooming side by side. i sure hope 'hen house sees this'

So…..did you have a question? For the Ask a Question forum?

This is Edith Wolford: and this is Jurassic Park:
I chose this picture of Jurassic Park to show that it has reddish purple marking at the top of the falls and the gray edge.

In your picture, the iris on the left has gray edges on the falls and a spray of white at the top of the falls. It probably is Jurassic Park. The one on the right is redder than either Edith or Jurassic and has a large spray pattern.

I am pretty sure someone on this site will be able to tell you what the beauty on the right is. I have seen it before but am blanking on it's name.

Certainly not Edith Wolford, but I agree that Jurassic Park is accurately featured/named here.

The lovely one on the right seems so iconic and familiar, but I cannot remember any potential names.

Tall Bearded Iris (Iris 'Reckless Abandon')

It's been so long since I've tried to ID any irises but this one looked so familiar to me too.

I'll shave my hair off and donate it to charity if that's Reckless Abandon.

You're on the right track with that guess though...maybe a sib?

i do feel silly... that one of the right was mis marked and i didnt look further. so it is not... edith wolford for sure... was fun for awhile thinking i pulled it off. thanks guys for the info and for not making fun of my ignorance.. xox

Jurassic
Park NOID

If anyone is struggling with left/right when looking at an image.

Hope you can find the ID Maryann! To me, it looks to be a sibling to Reckless Abandon, or perhaps the same sort of class.

Could the NOID be Tall Bearded Iris (Iris 'Pirate Ahoy') ?

That looks the most like the NOID, I'd say, Joshua. Great guess

Pirate Ahoy looks like a good call.

Just checking in.. As others have suggested.. Jurassic park and Reckless Abandon.
Jurassic Park has always had (to my mind) a weird yellow color on the standards.. It's a VERY strong grower and bloomer. Edith Wolford isn't as tall, it starts out darker then fades to a softer look. The center of the falls is always a little darker than the edges.
Reckless Abandon always feels like a smile to me. It's been used a lot in hybridizing.. I think all three of these Iris are truly great..
