Thank you so much ! The one in the foreground is "Red Hawk", and the one farther back is "Sultan's Palace". The one that I posted in the iris category is Spartan , which I think is my favorite red , is has a very slightly more purple tint and wonderful form ,although they are all fantastic iris. All of those were purchased at Schreiner's Iris Gardens . I received Red Hawk as as a birthday present from my mom before she passed away , I've grown it for about 25 years now.

Thank you, I love all of your sumptuous photos in the iris category too and you should totally submit them to the database!
Just out of curiosity, how does the fragrance compare between the three?

I'm sorry , but I really don't know , but I am definitely going to check next year . My wife makes a point of checking the fragrance of each iris that we have ,but I'm not sure she has specifically compared the red ones . We have 47 or 48 different iris.

I understand; I am especially a fan of the fragrant ones but even I lose track of how they all stack up against each other in the off season
