TB: Best solid pink?

As my modest collection of iris has grown, I have added several pinks 
along the way, but I am still looking for the pink that stops me in my 
tracks. My perfect pink is a self, with nary a hint of tangerine or 
white. Certainly no orange beard, preferably no white there either. 
Shade could be either light or dark (see, I'm not asking much, am I?).  

Unlike some others who do not like the modern form, I love it. I'll take 
as much substance as I can get (about as firm as those fake wax lips we 
used to get as kids at Halloween!). Broad, flaring form would be great. 
Ruffles? I'll take all I can get.  Having said all that, color is still 
the key and I'll consider candidates of the older, historic, drooping 
form if the color is right.

Of course, all the cultural extras would be nice..reliable bloomer, 
hardy, rot-resistant, bud count, blah, blah, blah, but if she's 
beautiful enough, I'll even put up with sub-par on all that.

I know she is out there...would someone please just introduce me? ;-) 
 (iris-photos folks, a picture would be nice)

If she's still just my fantasy, anybody working on her?

ground and more predicted tomorrow afternoon - more already this winter 
than the last 3 or 4 years put together :-) )
