Thanks's Doss--there's another one darker, but in the same line of color called 'Metarie Ridge'--this pic will really show what 1.5" of rain in the afternoon will do to an Iris. It's also O'Connor 2002. What I personally like about the color on this one as opposed to 'Lafitte Celebration' is the really nice dusy pink of the standards, the nice orange line out from the bright yellow signal. I think one of the lower blooms will look better tomorrow; if the remainder of this rain falls tonight before it opens as opposed to shredding it tomorrow after it opens. Style arms are also a nice intense color.

Like I say, bad pic but very interesting color combination--we shall hope for a better one on this one tomorrow.
