Irises like versicolor, verna, cristata, etc. come in shades of blue,
pink, purple or white. They also have a smidgen of yellow in the crest
or signal area (depending on the species). And yet I've never heard
of a pure yellow self versicolor, cristata, or verna. Theoretically
shouldn't it be possible to develop pure yellow selfs of these species
since they already seem to carry the necessary "yellow genes"? Why
hasn't this been done? Lack of popularity?
