Sandra,
I
suspect your cooler weather, bolder color is probably a key factor in the
color differences. The real reasoning behind my confidence that my Cranberry
Ice didn't look like the monitor picture was that I would still be growing it
if it did. The photo on my monitor is very nice. Two years ago, we had a
cool, wet spring and the iris colors were much prettier than
previous years.

Does this photo look more like the Cranberry
Ice you remember ? I did a google search and there is
tremendous
variation in the photos on this one, but most
of them show a bluish/purple center patch on the falls with
cranberry
on the edges and cranberry
standards and a bronze colored beard. This photo taken in the sun
is more demonstrative
of the color. I think the white balance
setting for clouds is off on my camera, I seem to get a lot truer color in
the
sunshine using the sunshine white
balance. Also it has been very cool here this spring, I seem to be
getting a
lot bolder colors than I would be getting if it
was hot and the sun had a chance to fade them.

Cranberry ?? this one is Cranberry Ice
I grew Cranberry Ice before the iris virus so I do not have a
photo. If my memory can be trusted, my Cranberry Ice did not look
like the image on my monitor. I do list Cranberry Ice in my catalog so I
may get a chance to see it again next year. I remember it as a very slow
increaser.

I found the name....it is Cranberry
Ice. I knew I had mentioned it on iris talk because this was the
iris
that lived in a pot in a tray of water for
awhile and no rot. Now it is getting a chance to demonstrate
its
water tolerance outside in the
garden...seems like we have been getting rain every day for the last
two
or three weeks.
