Periwinkle Iris?

A hard color to identify.  So periwinkle....????  and so very quiet in soft color;  yet it makes such a fantastic visual statement.  Dark and Bold is not always the way.  My husband had just watered when I took this photo so it was neat to have the drops of water on the petals.  I love the crinkles....they remind me of my childhood crinolines.  You can tell these are "aged" iris the way there is a mottling of colors....some things do get better with age.   Makes me anxious to see what the next blooms color will be?


Hope everyone had a colorful Fourth of July.
