I have tons of daylilies bought partly, if not entirely, for the name. Irises, not so much. I do presently have:
(we are SF fans here... but also rebloom)
(memorializing visits to Glacier Point in Yosemite National Park (but the images looked beautiful too))
(there are no glaciers at Glacier Point, but the name goes with... and we have also visited Glacier National Park)
I had this one in the past, bought almost entirely for the name, but it died, the replacements look dead, and I may not reacquire:
(I was a big fan of the original trilogy ("prequels" were awful; was disappointed in the current movie))
If the nursery ever responds, I have plans to acquire this year:
(DD graduated from Amherst College)
(my sister's name is Lois)
And this one (from a different nursery):
(DD's best friend Sara is a beautiful young woman (plus rebloom))
Already ordered for this year (the name factored into the decision, but was not the entire reason for the purchase):
(DH interested in space exploration, but this iris also has unusual standards and very clear colors, and is fragrant)
(the name almost says it all (song played on the radio when I was a kid), but this looks beautiful also)
(have driven through Mariposa many times so there are some fond memories associated with that, plus rebloom)
Irises that I am
considering getting, in part because of their name:
(another 'Mariposa' memento, and also rebloom)
(have enjoyed 'Star Trek' since I was in high school, when the original series was on TV)
(a memorable kiss.. but also bubble ruffles)
(yes, it's a Dykes medalist - but I am thinking of the opening words of a certain song...)
