Re: Re: CULT - Is there a RED iris?

Two border bearded irises have really impressed me with their 
'redness.'

	CRANAPPLE, Aitken, '95 is a vigorous plant with a shade of 
red that has great saturation of color.  In the soil it has for a home 
here, it is neither brown-red nor wine-red.  It is the closest to red-
red I have.  Cranapple is an apt name.

	REVEL IN RED, Spoon, '98 bowled me over last spring.  Its 
catalog description had not prepared me for the shade of red I saw. 
I was stuck in my tracks admiring it.  It does not have the depth of 
color as CRANAPPLE but it surely was a shade of red I have never 
seen in irises before.  The tone of red is hard to describe, but I can 
assure it is distinctive in the red department.

	Neither one of these has those distracting haft marks a lot of 
reds have.
