A friend has started crossing cristatas. They do like a bit of shade. Your blue Noid looks like a siberian & the red is probably a LA. They get the closest to 'real' red of any type of iris as one of the LA species I. fulva is red.
Oh dear, no one taught this computer species names. Little red lines all over.
My LA's are close to 4 feet tall and the blooms measure a good 6 to 8 inches across. I definitely think your bright magenta red is an LA Bonnie. There are many LA's that have the narrower separated falls like yours.

A couple of my PCI's are in part-shade. They're under a walnut tree, so when it leafs out, and the sun is higher overhead, they get more shade during the hottest part of the day and year.
The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us.
