Re: TB & SB Iris

 BIG  ERROR!   How COULD I do it???!!!  No wonder I couldn't sleep last night 
after I finally went to bed!! I should have gotten up and tried to figure out 
WHY.  As a result, I woke up late this a.m. - at least for me, and 
immediately had a horrible thought - and realized I had not proof-read what I 
 finally  wrote!  Not being too adept with this monster, sometimes I write 
out in longhand  as I did last night (a hangover from my  poor deserted 
typewriter) and then  with my mind on something else that had upset me,  I 
copied it with half-an eye, the other trying to go to sleep, with my cat on 
my lap trying to tell me it is past bedtime -- in that way it is easy to slip 
to the next line or---!  Anyhow, any dimwit knows that  an iris with the name 
"sunshine" would have to be some shade of yellow or orange or else the 
hybridizer is the dimwit!
I hope no one reads the other email - !!  I do know that JULY SUNSHINE is 
yellow  -- I meant to suggest PURPLE DUET (in the '60s) or PURPLE OF TYRE (in 
the '80s I think), but more likely DARKSIDE, which according to my old 
records did bloom in zone 3, but I don't have it anymore.  So many of the old 
ones were a deep reddish-purple - can you give a more detailed description at 
the next bloom season and maybe someone can help identify it more accurately.
My deep apologies!  I'll probably never live this down, and won't dare show 
my face on iris-talk again!  Covered with sackcloth and ashes,  red-faced
