I also grow what I was 99% sure was No Count Blues except that mine have PBF and I could find no other mention of it having the purple anywhere else! I am separating to donate to my local iris society sale, and now I can label them with complete confidence! Thank You!

I don't think it's safe to sell or share it as No Count Blues, we all know that it's nearly impossible to determine cultivars from pictures, especially ones this color as there are too many. Too many other variables that you can't account for in a picture, like height, bloom time, fragrance, camera differences etc. To be certain you must plant a known No Count Blues next to your plant and see if what you get the next spring. If they bloom at the same time, have the same color, height, and when you tare apart a bloom from each and they are identical piece by piece, and the fragrance is the same, then you can safely say it's No Count Blues. Don't mean to burst your bubble, but way too often irises get miss Identified when we get impatient about finding an ID. Smiling
Politicians are like diapers, they need to be changed often, and for the same reason.
