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!
