Reticulata iris -- I don't remember which variety of these, either, although I have three -- these, some dark red-purple ones, and some darker blue ones. These are the only ones blooming so far, though.

There's about ten different kinds of seeds in those pots, ranging from mimulus to flax to hollyhocks. I am going to have a beautiful garden this summer if I can keep the cats out of the potting soil...
