Ed - some questions please. What color Iris did you have before you moved?
Were they all the
same color where you use ro live? I have had people tell me that their blue
Iris had bloom
the next year all yellow, but when I have offered to furnish iris from my
garden and come and
plant them (local gardeners only) and come back the next year to photograph
the different
colors, I have yet to have some one to take up the offer. I have had sports
from a plant that
was different color the the rest of the bloom stalks, But the to change from
one location to
another may show a slight coloration change due to different chemical and
mineral within the
new location, but never a drastic change as you show. Quite often, we have
purchased iris
from local club sales and mass merchandiser and receive miss labeled plants.
There is a lot
of iris talk members out there more qualified to answer this question than I
am.

Thanks for the response. We had two different purple irises, a yellow and a
white. They were all in the same bed at the old place. I messed up and did not
label them before I dug them up to move them, so I really don't know what is
planted where in the new place. We live on the coast of North Carolina now and
the soil is very sandy. Will wait and see if any other colors come out later,
but over half of the plants have bloomed and every thing so far has come out
white. At the old place we had very few white ones. Will let you know how
things turn out. Ed
