Bought this in 2015, hoping the color is like the picture above.

Edit: I agree with everyone else, Paul, your photographs are gorgeous.

Ooooo-la-la Barbara! That's really something!! 'South Padre Island' made me a bit weak in the knees.. What a beautiful thing... Enlarging 'Toronto' was necessary to see just how pretty it is. Nice photo Tom.

I wish Around We Go were that bright in real life, the colors are much more muted. This is a pretty accurate picture of it's color.

I like an iris that is not a carbon copy of a dozen others. Rogue Trader by Barry Blyth is one of those iris.......

I'm are real sucker for that shade of yellow, that lemony but soft shade looks so pretty with other colors.
