Re: Boss Tweed


Linda,
 
I believe that this iris is too red to be Boss Tweed.  The Checklist says:
 
Boss Tweed (James McWhirter, R. 1992) TB, 38" M.  Ruffled honey tan brown, white area under gold beards, slight fragrance.  Arabian Tapestry x Role Model.  Cottage 1993
 
Your picture shows a red-brown iris with a violet area under the beard.   When mine bloomed it was much more honey.
 
So I went on-line to Google Images and typed iris + Boss Tweed.  It pulled up a mixture of tan and red-brown irises.  Mine looked like the honey-tan with white under the beard.  Yours looks like the red-brown with violet under the beard. 
 
Intersting.....
