Tall Bearded Iris - a highly scented blue.

Great that it has a perfume too......was that the one by your front door?

No Dd, the one by the front door is Jane Philips, this is in the same border but too far back for its height.

very nice blue ,,,

Right....have sent you a pm....

This one is flowering Siris as you say a wonderful scent , I'll try to remember to take a picture later, huge flowers !

Excellent, Simbad, not so tall as Jane Phillips, but nicer shaped flower, and I think the scent is more intense. I'm going to remove the clump of Jane Phillips by the front door and replace with this, when I can get to it.

Oct 2016, it turns out this is a remontant Iris.

Yes mine from you has buds about to open! , nice surprise so late in the year :-)

"remontant" a new word to me ...

(of a plant) blooming or producing a crop more than once a season.

Looking good

Yes Gnarly, this one(unknown name, hence 'Scented Blue') has a bud about to open, probably next week (October). I don't expect the scent will be so noticeable in the cold.
