janwax said:I recently ordered a Blyth iris called "She". Simple, name fits easily on a plant marker! (and it's gorgeous! and so feminine!)
There's a very old classic science fiction novel called _She_. I'm thinking possibly the iris gets its name from the novel. It's about a totally knock-em-dead gorgeous femme fatale who is immortal. She's kind of evil, too, but unbelievably beautiful. In the end, they figure out what keeps her immortal -- if I remember rightly, been a long time -- and she crumbles into ashes. It's a compelling story, and the portrait of a woman they draw is powerful.
