I remember reading an article that said having a certain percentage of yellow in the garden lifts up all the other colors..

I am not a fan of really red ones but love the burgundy and fuschia ones. Saturday Night Live is not one of my favorites but I have lots of it.

Leslie, the grouping of photos of your muted tones looks so pretty together, they emphasize the subtle beauty of each other. It inspires a new bed....oh no....LOL

Jane, we're birds of a feather in colors we love! I can pretty much always say "I'll have what she's having" Hilarious!

I agree I was thinking about a starting a thread about "who has the same taste in iris as you do"
If anyone wants to start it go ahead. Thumbs up

I also think I've liked everything Jane posts.
My favorites are the peach/orange, then the light pinks/dark pink then blues/purples. Well I guess I love all of them but peach is #1 and give them lines on the falls and it's love at first sight.

Neal - most of those are near each other in the new bed. I have my Dragons together along with Puff The Magic. Noble Dragon isn't far away either.

I have continued my obsession with the muted iris this year, since I picked up Sweetwater Pie Burns. I fell in love with it at first sight. Lovey dubby

Yes -- but Leslie -- I intentionally bought a computer with Windows 7, to avoid those problems. Sad

I have Windows 7 Professional at work, and still couldn't transfer XP or Vista programs. It is quite annoying.

Barbara, My tastes first would be purples followed by blues, then pinks, the reds and then pinks/peaches/oranges. Just kinda reverse order of your tastes.
