Hi Jerry, What pretty irises! I'm afraid it would be very hard to identify the cultivar. Are you thinking that the owners from the 1950s planted them? There are a number of blue reticulated iris cultivars that were around back then. Here are some from the garden.org Plant Database:

Harmony: introduced in the 1950s and is a very common cultivar:


Joyce: introduced in 1943


Spring Time: introduced in 1950


You can also find some information on Iris reticulata and hybrids and some cultivars at the Iris Encyclopedia website:

Hope this helps! Smiling
