Hi Rusty,
I have a few irises that are green. PRIDE OF IRELAND is kind of greenish
yellow. I have some unknown that has chartreuse standards and a reddish blush
on chartreuse falls: it's a bit greener, some years more than others. And I
have CHIMERA which is the greenest I grow. It's just about the color of lime
sherbet with a purple blush in the center of the falls. (And it's from Lloyd
Z. in '61.) It rebloomed for me this summer. Bruce Filardi (from iris-l) is
into green irises too. I bet he has a good list, but I can't remember if he
has switched to iris-talk or not.
Of course there's always hermodactylus, but I guess it has been downgraded
from true iris to "some irid." It really and truly is green with purple-black
falls. I love it.
