STANDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is strange; pink is not one of my favorite colors, however it is great for iris & other pink flowers. If I were younger I would try for pink amoena SDBs.

You're still vertical Lucy -- go for it!!!

I have only one Pink Iris - It is "Beverly Sills" and I must admit, it is gorgeous !

Loves me some pink!

I love pink irises!!!!!!! I remember the first time I saw a pink iris I thought it must be the most valuable/scarce/unique iris ever grown. That being said if I had only one color growing it would be blue, not lavender or purple but blue.

My favorite drink is diet Coke, my favorite ice cream is vanilla. Luckily I don't need to limit my self to one color of iris and some favorites are difficult to call one color.....Haunted Heart, Reckless Abandon, Brouhaha. I do love pinks like Hollywood Star and Plicatas like Ink Patterns and on and on

Bonnie, it was much the same for me, I think that rare, exotic quality is still there for me and makes the pink ones so exciting and beautiful to me. I also would be the same if I could only have one color iris, it would be blue- there are just so few flowers in true blue shades (and a lot of pinks in the flower world).

Iris was the "Goddess of the Rainbow", and Joseph's coat was of many colors.....and that's what I'm looking for in my garden.......a rainbow of many colors.

Beverly Sills is very pretty. We don't have any pinks but a friend is sending her NOID pink in Sept.

I love Beverly Sills. I probably have six different pinks -- love them all!!!! Love all the new ones out that I don't own. Yet.

Yes, looking at "Beverly Sills" in the sun was incredible. But now that I think of it, in looking at my Iris rhizome List, I think I have more Pinks than I thought I did.

Funny how that happens. I have more purples than I thought I did.

That's the great thing about irises. They are so varied in color and style that even if you do have a color you don't like there are tons of varieties in colors besides that one. There is not an iris color that I don't like which explains why it takes me forever to decide which ones to order. I don't think I've ever seen an ugly iris bloom

I don't think I've seen an iris I didn't think. edit should have been like

I had the darndest time trying to find a "Yellow" Iris for my garden. I still haven't picked one yet. So I guess I will have to wait until next year and chose then. I must have looked at 20 different Yellow Irises and couldn't pick one. I like reading Reviews by growers who have grown different irises, you learn a lot that way. So, I'm still on the hunt for that one perfect "Yellow" Iris.

You need to make a list and tell us which you like. Someone may have one you'd like for postage.

Where do you find reviews from different growers? I have never seen that! AND I love pink irises and have quite a few. Of course, I love lots of other colors too, especially peach and blue.

The Reviews are from the individuals who grow them in their gardens. I use DAVESGARDEN.COM
and look up the Iris I'm interested in and see if there are any reviews by growers.

Ok, here are some of the Yellow Iris I have looked at and considered, but haven't made a decision on yet :

* Alice Harding
* Ola Kala
* Pluie D'or
* Southland
* Warbler
* Mystic Melody

Maybe I should just get them all
