Margie, You Iris has good color... nice to see it with the color chart. Are those available through AIS?
The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us.

Sherry asked: "Are those available through AIS?"
I never registered it. I wanted to work on improving it's form. I did cross it this year - got a pod and lots of seeds. They are planted outside buried under Long Island snow and ice. Thanks for asking. Margie

Margie, I think Sherry was asking about the color keys you used in your photograph. They look to me like paint chips???
