I'm with you, Rusty. We could always go for the "biblical" iris names,
planting BOAZ, WHITHER THOU GOEST, ARMAGEDDON, ANSWERED PRAYERS, BUBBLING
ANGELS, HALFWAY TO HEAVEN, HEAVENLY RAPTURE, HERE'S HEAVEN, IMMORTALITY,
PARADISE FOUND, PEACE AND HARMONY, DORCAS LIVES AGAIN, ETERNAL BLISS,
GIDEON VICTORIOUS, GLOWING SERAPHIM, HALLOWED THOUGHT, PRAISE THE LORD,
HOLY NIGHT, TOUCHED BY ANGELS, GARDEN GRACE, PARADISE, STAIRWAY TO
HEAVEN, or even WITCH OF ENDOR (or, for that matter, almost anything by
B. Miller).
