I like them all. Harbinger is a large version of the plain old purples
my parents grew in Cincinnati.
I like the bright orange of Hindenburg, and the yellow and red of Whoop
'Em Up.
I like the haunting darkness of Hello Darkness, Superstition, and Ebony
Dream.
But my favorite is Mesmerizer, which is palest violet when it opens
in cool weather, rapidly fading to the white it usually is, with
fantastic flounces.
Lady Friend will be blooming in a day or so--a real Dykes-class iris in
my book.
