Infernal Fire is exciting! Some broken colors I'm on the fence about (I think because they make me think of virused lilies), but that one is exquisite!

I hadn't really thought of it as a broken until you mentioned it Neal. The red does a great job of looking like flames.

Yeow! That's one firey-colored Iris!
