Hello @JavaMom,
I am wondering if the iris in this image is Chickasaw Sue or something else. I've never seen yellow on the falls before and the AIS Wiki description describes the falls as:
"...falls white ground, stitched orange, red and brown on edge and hafts..."

It doesn't seem to match any other database images here either.

Hi Robin @Totally_Amazing and Sue @Calif_Sue,
I am so sorry if my photo doesn't look like Chikasaw Sue, but I got it as a gift from an amazing NGA member and it look like what I saw in a database, so I added this photo, I am sure it can be taken off database if it's not the right no. These photos below were from the first year it bloomed (March 2017) and it showed same color.
I am fairly new in collecting Iris and didn't know much about them, so I apologize if what I posted is not the right Iris. I enjoyed this group so much and has gained not only knowledge but also wonderful gardening friends at the same time.

I moved it to the generic iris entry. If you ever find out the exact ID from the NGA member, it can be moved again.
ID's can be difficult just based on images as so many iris can have similar features so if you are uncertain as to the ID, it's best to add to the generic entry.
