The color on that second one is beautiful!

Evaluating an iris seedling, hopefully for rebloom

They are both nice.

The second one is a truer pink. But I actually like the first one the best. Very pretty!

Love the colours on the 1st one best, but that beard on the 2nd one!!

...and have a look at those ruffles! [Where is the 'swoon' emoji when you need it??!]

Of course I talk to myself; sometimes I need expert advice!

Hi! Newbie to the forum

I love the pink iris. I haven't seen flowers this pink and have a question. Are you hybridizing to get the colors?

Kate, GuiseppeJ (Joe) is one of our nation's most famous iris hybrdizers. He is probably more instrumental in developing the pinks and bubble-ruffled form than anyone else. We are very fortunate to have him contributing to our forum.

Kate!

Yes, you do indeed need to put in a lot of work to hybridise modern irises, including the pink ones.
