Loved the article and hearing about this writer. It was like an Iris History lesson. Hmm, the color I most need added to my Iris Gardens is a grass green or crayola green or teal green or sea green. I just haven't found them yet
They would replace some of my yellow irises with green names
Lot of muddled Irises in that group, if I even really understand what muddled is. I do love those rare green Irises I do have. And some of them are olive in color and I think others would most likely say those are muddled but I consider them among my prize Iris possessions.
So, I used to make myself buy the rainbow. So when I bought Irises, I would buy a balanced number of red, yellow, blue, pink, green, white, blue, purple and throw in some browns and blacks as well. Eventually when my space began dwindling and my orders were small, I just started buying what appealed to me. Buying the rainbow did however, leave me with a pretty varied yard, color wise, during Iris season. I feel for all my gardening mistakes, this it is something I did right. As I really love variety and I have it.
