    I have a darker purple, but my dear daughter erased them to take pictures of Basil the Bad:

    Oh I adore that first photo, the copper iris, and Basil the Bad looks like a cheeky chappy!

    The orange one is my favourite too but I love all iris and hope to add to my own collection in years to come.

    Coppery iris! I've never seen somethink quite like it. Lovely. Grows in the swamp, huh? Must be a pretty swamp! All of them are so pretty. Basil the Bad looks like a mischievous fellow, for sure!

    Gee if that grows in the swamp I will gladly go and live in the swamp. Those are gorgeous. I was never so fortunate to have Irises here, let alone have them blooming. :stew1:
    Basil looks sweet. (He can help keep aligators at bay.)

    Thanks all. I love when the irises are blooming. I just added some Japanese irises, given to me by a good friend. They have done very well and I plan on getting more.

    EJ, you described Basil perfectly a cheeky chappy, that fits him to a t. He is my grandbeagle and is very spoiled. I will pass all of your nice comments on to him, he will be pleased.
