    @edhelka and they look great! Do you know the name of yellow and white one? it's so vibrant and clearly divided in color. My brain already works in terms where I could put one in my garden haha :)

    @Lena_vs_Deer Unfortunately I don't, they were planted by the previous owner. I would love to know too, I would like to get more.

    @edhelka does this one look about right up-close?
    It may be Montecito

    It could be, although it needs to be easily available in the UK, probably through a major supplier, so I would guess this one:

    But I know nothing about irises, so can't see minor differences.

    I think yours is probably the right one! now that is look in comparison to original photo, white petals are more round and match Symphony better! 

    Which is actually very encouraging because if I can't find one there's always its lookalike available :)

    By the way thank you very much, I'm having a great fun playing these identification games  <3 Most fun I had recently.

    I went to Chatsworth yesterday, and the kitchen garden up the hill behind the conservatory, has some beautiful rows of irises for cutting for the house.  Given that we had some really hard frosts quite late on, the gardens are looking wonderful, although the apple trees look like they will have no fruit this year.

    It keeps raining hard and the heavy giant had to go haha... it bloomed on a newly divided rhizome and was pulling it from the ground :dizzy:   
    Had to cut it....
