Oh, how I wish there was a truly red iris! The ones we have are beautiful, but it seems like they're always really dark and often have purple or orange in them -- but I love them anyway. I've come up with ten that I've grown, but I must confess that I've already gotten rid of some of them in order to make room for new introductions. But the ones I still have are definite keepers!
MARCHING ORDERS - Ghio, 2010 - This one is now my absolute favorite - love that strikingly bright gold beard!
NEBRASKA BIG RED - From the Jedlickas - My second favorite. Just love the ruffles on this one!
CHIANTI CLASSIC by Terry Aitken - My third favorite -- This was a very pleasing color combination!
DOUBLE DOWN - Mike Sutton
HOUSE AFIRE - Ghio
RED HANDED - Ghio
RED SKIES - Ghio
DYNAMITE - Schreiner's, I believe
GRAND CLASSIC - Tasco
POPSTAR - Barry Blyth - I didn't care for the form on this one, but the color was unusual and bright.
Those are beautiful Betty I don't have a lot of reds but I have a few I really Love the colors on Marching Orders I ordered quite a few last year and after looking at your pics I will have to have a few more

Lentin Prayer
Company Red
Drinks at Sunset My Favorite the color is Outstanding and the flowers are Huge
LOVE that Rustler! It glows! Nebraska Big Red is on my wish list - I already have the order filled out, just need to figure out how to pay for it!!
I only have one red so far, and it has been pretty nice. I got it from Schreiners a couple of years ago, and grew like crazy and I have already had to split it: Indian Chief
Vintage Port was registered by Marky Smith in 2005. It may not have been introduced yet. I think she mostly introduces through Aitken's, so you might check their site.
