For those who may want to know the difference.....They're hybrids from the same parentage - Iris histrioides var. major × Iris winogradowii.
Personally I'm slightly biased towards "Sheila" which is bluer and brighter than "Katharine".....

I like the blue in Sheila. Both are gorgeous though.

Thanks for your comments! Yes, I like both! I've decided to have Sheila as specimens and plant Katharine in the ground......

They are both pretty ... depends where they were planted which ones I would choose. Sheila's blue is very nice. :o)
