Thread OP

My mom's books of registered iris are old, and I am not finding anything that describes this to me, but my mom really wants to find this iris somewhere to get one/some. This is not my image; it was shared to me by her. I have tried reverse image search and I get nothing useful back - none of them have these spots/dots/stippling.
I am not sure if this is a tall bearded, border, dwarf, etc., but instinctively I am thinking tall bearded.
I have checked Mid-America, Schriners, and that is the extent of my knowledge expended.

Can someone please help me with a name, and/or maybe who might have it for sale?

I have to wonder if it's photoshopped.

It's fake. No such iris.

Yes, that' been floating around facebook for a while, obviously AI generated photo.

Doesn't look real to me. The bud in the background has no dots on it, which is a bit of a giveaway that the photo has been modified.

It is an AI generated picture. The iris does not exist.

See this Facebook page showing the "artistic" ways plant photos are being manipulated. They are pretty but not how the plants really look. The iris photo was surely manipulated like this too.

Thank you everyone. I am a complete novice when it comes to this and wanted to get my mom one since she was so excited about how it looked. Sad to hear this is the case, but you saved me a lot of trouble.

A final note to everyone: beware of online sellers offering odd colored plants or seeds that will grow them. You can always verify with us, maybe in the Plant ID forum or Ask a Question forum.

This foolishness has been discussed in a Facebook hosta group as well. Why these sellers are still allowed on Amazon is beyond me. D'Oh!
