There one little iris that I really want but have not added it to my garden. It is named Baby Doe Tabor by Tom Magee 1999. It has been described as a fawn color but the name almost seems like it is a memorial iris. It would be sad to pass it in my garden every day if it is a memorial to a baby. I really don't like irises named for people that I don't know. The name does not describe its bloom or vigor... just a persons name. That is like calling it iris 1 to me. There are so many dwarfs called little, I think I have five or six, that I think they could be more creative. Anyway, if you have a terrific iris that is worth registering then I think it should have a name that is either whimsical, descriptive or intriguing and above all memorable.
