Hi all: for the last 3yrs I have had just one of my miniature Iris come back with this color variation. Bicolor Iris ( photo / image / picture from Tooty2shoes's Garden ) Not sure how it did it. But I thought it looked kind of neat. Schreiner's Iris said that if it came back the same way for more than 3yrs. it would be considered a new color variety. Well this year it totally surprised me by blooming this color. Even the second bud opened to be this same color. Hopefully it will come back next year this same color. I might have a new variety if it does. Now that would be something! Look Ma. I made my own color. ( photo / image / picture from Tooty2shoes's Garden )
The second pic's color is more cream yellow and not so orange. My camera made it look darker for some reason. I was surprised and delighted. Yes, I to can't wait for next year.
Stunning! The first one is such an unusual arrangement of colors, and the second looks good enough to eat. It ought to be named "Peach Ice Cream." I gotta get me some iris.
I LOVE THOSE!!! I am really on an iris kick right now I bought "Starship Enterprise" at the nursery last night, a birthday present to myself because I knew my husband wouldn't think to buy me one I've spent hours on ebay looking at iris, drooling You have some pretty ones!!
Thanks for the coodo's on the Iris. I really like that name you though of. If it comes back next year the same color I will definitely name it Peach Ice Cream.Patti
