James,
It is the scientific (botanical) names of plants, not the common names or
cultivar names, that it is prohibited to use as iris names. Therefore,
DAYLILY'S ENVY or STELLA DE ORO would be legitimate iris names, but
HEMEROCALLIS (or DIANTHUS) would not.
BTW, the rules for naming irises are included in the article "How to
Register and Introduce an Iris" which may be found on page 11 of the April,
1999 AIS Bulletin.
