Being new to growing Iris, I have a couple of questions that I am hoping
someone can answer for me.
1. How and where do the names for Iris come from? Is there a national list
that gives all the names and a description of the flower?
2. Who decides what color the flower is? It seems to me looking at
catalogs, that either I am color blind or in catalogs they do show the true
colors. This occurs to both my daughter and I. We were looking a Schreimer's
catalog and looking at the picture and than the description and we just could
not come up with the color that was given in the description.
I can say one thing. I have been driving around my Town and looking at some
iris that people have growing, and they are certainly a beautiful flower.
I also must say I do not take part much in the group as I am new to Iris
growing, but I do lurk and certainly enjoy the group.
