Here it is: "The iris in the photos is mindful of an older iris variety in our collection named 'Frosted Velvet'. Positive ID usually requires side by side comparison with the standard. Thank you for your interest. Missouri Botanical Garden Plant Information (jas)" I hop this information will help you. Debra,

You are absolutely right when you say many of them look alike. If I had to guess as to which your is Frank Adams, Blatant, Nashborough and Taco Supreme come to mind. I'm not sure where you live but, the <a href="http://www.mobot.org/" rel="nofollow">Missouri Botanical Garden has a very extensive Iris garden</a> and you might want to visit it. I will continue to search for more information. Hopefully one of our members will chime in with suggestions. Debra,
