Lin,

I may still have the receipt (I think). I ordered it on line from a pond shop. I may have a book mark for the site. Will check. It is lovely in the summer when the pod has water lilies and those all in bloom around the edge!

I believe it is a Sea Wisp (Iris Louisiana). I got it at Pond Megastore in 09.

I Googled 'Sea Wisp' and yours is much, much prettier than that. I did see one that look more like yours than 'Sea Wisp' and that is 'Andy Dandy'. LOL. I would love to see your pond, I bet that is gorgeous! Lovey dubby

Well, I found the order form that came with the plants. The two listed are Sea Wisp and Professor Claude. I Googled both and it looks more like some pics I saw of Sea Wisp than the Professor Claude. It has to be one of those. Those are the only two I ordered and I only have two types by my pond. I will try to post some pics of it when the plants start getting flowers. It need a little work this year and I need to thin out my water Lilies really bad!!

Okay, I may have ordered it somewhere else. I have a pic that reminded me (I just looked at it) that there is more than two by/in my pond. Perhaps this one I ordered from somewhere else. I am attaching the pic. I remind you, it is in need of some work. We were re doing the river rock around the out side edge. I really have a lot to do this summer! Blinking

That is very beautiful! Lin said she thought it was Professor Claude so if that is one that you bought then maybe that is it. Either way, they are all beautiful. Thank You!

Yes, they are beautiful! It would be nice to figure out which one it is. Not sure why I didn't keep track... Shrug!
