Ask the Expert: Iris identification

Years ago someone gave me a start of this iris and I would like to know the name. Maybe Frank Adams variety but I’m not sure since so many look the same. I would really appreciate an opinion. Debra I have attached pictures below.

Ask the Expert: What kind of ground cover perrenial is it?

I’m assuming its a ground cover. Because it just covers the ground. Spreads out I mean.Its leaves are dark green round shape with round pointy edges. It is kind of like a vine too but doesn’t get to long, it spreads out and only gets about 6 inches tall. It has very small light purple upside down bell shaped flowers. It has a light minty smell and the bees love the flowers. I thought it was a mint but I have several mint and it is not a mint Ive seen or thought it was. It comes back every year under my grape arbor in the spring and sticks around till fall. This is the first year Ive let it grow thus noticing the flowers on it. I would appreciate it if you could possibly tell me what it is. I can get a picture of it and send it if just the description alone doesn’t help. I live in Missouri by the way if that help narrow it down.
Thanks,

Ask the Expert: What is this plant?

I have had this plant for 16 years. It belonged to my mother. It was given to her by her mother. I have no idea how old it is, but I love it. I seem to have a green thumb but I have no knowledge of plants. I hope you can help me. Thank you so much.

Ask the Expert: Identify this possible begonia type plant?

Can you help me figure out what sort of plant this is? It was given to me as a gift, but it did not come with any watering instructions or care instructions.

Ask the Expert: What blooms w/ raspberries but has white on leaves
This looks like a ‘berry’ vine but is blooming with what looks like small white berries in a cluster. The leaves have white on them as well. Some of these are growing with rose bushes and some right along with the raspberry vines. I just moved to this house one year ago and am interested in identifying this.

Thanks! Jeanene

Ask the Expert: What Is This?

I am an RE agent and a client left this plant behind when they moved. Each flower has 3 pedals which are a purplish color. The pedals close up at nite and open in the sunlight. They have long, thin stems. The client let it go and I am now trying to “bring it back”. Would love to know what it is and how to care for it. Chris
