I use Filemaker as the garden database on my Mac. I have name, plant type (SD, TB, etc), cultivar, year of intro, style (self, bicolor, bitone, etc), height, fragrant, rebloomer, a check box section with each month it blooms, where I bought it, how many I planted, the date I planted, color, garden status (in garden, removed/disappeared, potential plant-meaning one I have ordered but not planted, wishlist) and finally my rating (favorite, excellent, good, fair, poor).

I then have a comment box where all of my other data goes. it starts off with each year it has bloomed and which year I divided the irises. I solve my problem with sorting by color by putting a generic color in the color field and then putting the full description in the comment box. May not work for everyone but works for me. I also have two boxes where I can place pictures.

Below is an example of one page.
