HYB:Iris names

It reminds me of naming streets in cities.   Many city streets have names of
our past Presidents... "Madison", "Jefferson", "Harrison"... or people could
use names of States... "Hawaii", "Washington", "Montana", "Kentucky" or
Cities... "Cincinnatti"...

and they could add adjectives, like "Aloha Hawaii", "Cincinnatti Red",
"Kentucky Derby", "Montana Sky", "Commander Washington", or "Commander in
Chief",  "Benjamin Franklin"...   (sorry, I didn't look to see if any of
these were used)

No wonder it is fun.
