Not sure what it is, those colours seem quite faded, or maybe its the photograph. Flowers also don't seem to be fully open, not showing the falls or whether they're bearded or not. Height would help too.

Try browsing the pages of Seagate Irises catalogue - word of warning though, it can be addictive!

Oh okay, I've seen bearded irises like this in burgundy and yellow, but the colours are much, much brighter...

The closest I can find is Jacquesiana, but even that one isn't quite as drab is the one in your picture, and I'm wondering about the colour of the beards your pic shows, which appear to be dun brown or grey, whereas many similar ones to this, and closer in colours, display bright orange or bright yellow, even red, beards - has this flower been open for a while, so that the 'beard' has lost its pollen and colour?

do you think drab or have I read your reply wrong , you dont hold back do you Bamboo lol.

It opened this morning , I quite like the unusual colour makes a unique change from the others that are very popular.

Oooh, sorry, it slipped out without my even thinking about it, cos yes, that is what I think, I wouldn't give it garden room meself, but everyone's different and entitled to like what they like. My sincerest apologies...
