On p. 112, the BIS species book says:
"Several clones including various shades of blue, violet, pink and
white are known and some, mostly found as wild plants, have been
named."
I have a couple of blues, a dark violet and a white, but have never
heard of nor seen a pink cristata. Yellow is a color that does not
occur in any crested iris species on record.

"My Aunt Maria asked me to read the life of Dr. Chalmers, which,
however, I did not promise to do. Yesterday, Sunday, she was heard
through the partition shouting to my Aunt Jane, who is deaf, 'Think
of it! He stood half an hour today to hear the frogs croak, and he
wouldn't read the life of Chalmers,'"
--Henry David Thoreau, Journals, March 28, 1853 (The Memoirs of
Thomas Chalmers, a Scottish theologian, published in four volumes,
1849-1852.)
