I can understand why some people find iris names of the types that have
been discussed displeasing, but to me the most off-putting category of iris
names encompasses those that are absurd or derisive.
A rose by any other name may smell as sweet, but a lovely iris named
*GARBAGECAN* has had its beauty marred.
