I don't have a clue on names. Many of these were "salvaged" from houses I help my brother rehab.

This one is a supprise. I don't remember planting it. Course I sometimes forget which way is up. The leaves are just like Bearded but the flower is lower and more like a sib. Could it be just a misformed beardy?

A yellow with the same history as the above blue. I do have the Iris psedacorus (sp) but the leaves on this are like beardy's.

Very nice OED! The gold/maroon (variegata) might be Picador. The odd looking one appears to have herbicide damage. That is what the flowers look like when the plant has been tainted with something like Roundup. I think the beardless yellow is a psudacorus. The big two-tone purple is most likely Lent A. Williamson - a classic that is very common all over the place. A real survivor.

Oh so Pretty!

Thanks Mike! I haven't used any roundup or anything else this year. I have Psudacorus but this one's leaves look just like a beardy, not the tall, spikes of the Yellow flag. The psudacorus will easily reseed though. I'll just haved to keep my eyes open.
Just had an enlightenment. Will dog pee cause that effect

? My flowers sure get more than their share of that.
