Jeff, ryc to Rima:
" What color red?
About as red as a red cabbage! There are no "true" red iris, though
Cooley's Gardens in Oregon is supposed to be working on creating one by
genetic engineering."
I personally am going to be a little bummed when somebody comes out with a
truly red iris. I'm fond of the reds we have now, and I think that petunia
red is garish and belongs on petunias. and salvias. and Watsonias. As for
iris, give me SHORTMAN'S GARNET RUFFLES, and RUBY TUESDAY, and ROYAL RAGE.
Humph.
Barb, in Santa Fe, at the end of a beautiful Easter day, with no iris quite
blooming yet.
