Thank-you, they've all been great garden plants.
Arlyn, thanks for the suggestions. In googling them, I found the reblooming iris page. I've pulled off all the blue ones, made a list, and am researching.
A couple off the bat that look promising for #1 are 'Caribbean Dream' (Schreiner '90) and 'Ocean Pacific' (Ghio '88). Also 'Sonata in Blue'.
'Sapphire Hills' looks like a ringer, except that it's not a rebloomer.
Calif. Sue- I'll research 'Blue Anew' some more, but the picture I pulled up looks like a possiblity too. (I've seen many of your pictures in the database-we have a lot of plants in common)

#2- 'Lake Reprise'?? 'Winds of Change'??
#3 'Genteel'??

I will often buy plants purely on their names. So Sapphire Hills would work (sapphire is my birthstone). I thought I remembered one was named Blue Denim, but now know that it is a SBD, but I ran across one named 'Stonewashed', but haven't found a picture yet.

And so the research continues...
I also hope to be taking flowers to our next society meeting to see if anyone recognizes them.
The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us.
