Specifically, I am interested in TB sources other than Schreiner's. Can
anyone point me in that direction?
Also, I was wondering if anyone could share their thoughts on the "reddest"
TB
iris in commerce?

Donnie: Some of Joe Ghio's (Bay View Gardens, Santa Cruz, CA) recent
introductions are about as red as iris get, and lacy too! Ransom Note (sort
of scorched burgundy with a watermelon highlight) and Rogue (brick red, poor
grower) I have; others may be better. I remember Chief Quinaby (from
Schreiners) was pretty close to true red, the one time it bloomed here before
dying. Some older rebloomers with very plain, narrow form were in burgandy
tones close to a true red (Born Again), but I prefer the ruffled stuff.
