This was grown from AGS seed listed as Iris Gracilipes =Ex Min-Ya Konka.
Well certainly nothing like any Gracilipes I know Size about 18in high flower similar to a small Siberica ,is slightly darker than the picture has a very narrow gold line in the falls ,the light dots are rain not part of the flower.Any thoughts iris is not something I know a lot about .

It is beautiful in form and colour Bjs but I do find it irritating when its not what it says on the packet.

I grew chrysohraphes from seed and it looks very like this in form and has the gold flecks,mines almost black but I have seen them in very dark blue too, maybe worth googling :-), mine should be open maybe tomorrow .

I just googled Bjs and there is a picture that looks just like yours. :-)

Have Googled it and certainly looks right ,mine is actually darker than the pictures came out almost black in bud will have another look at the gold bit tomorrow ,the pics I looked at on line show a variable amount of gold on them.
