Carolyn, Not sure if you have heard that Cooley's are actively pursuring
a red iris.  They have a grant with Oregon State University to make this
happen.  If anyone, they have the resources and financing to *make it
so*.  Maybe the *Maytag Red* won't be far off.  Want to call Cooley's
and suggest a name!
