This was bot from Shreiner's in about 2009. I believe it is 'World Premier' but I could be wrong. WP is supposed to be an amoena, but the standards here are bluish. If you have any guesses, please let me know. In any case, this flower amazes a lot of people!

Yes, that's World Premiere. And, yes, its standards are very light blue-white. Go see it in the database at Tall Bearded Iris (Iris 'World Premier') .

Thanks. World Premier is described as an ameona, but those are supposed to have white standards, correct? Isn't WP more of a neglecta? See the following thread in which the "fine line" between amoena and neglectas is talked about:

What is your opinion on WP?

Go read the NGA description provided by Schreiners (link provided above.) Yes, they classified it as a neglecta (though I thought they had originally classified it as sn amoena), and, yes, they described it as having blue-white falls. I have had this for many years, and recognize it when I see it.
