Iris Pumila - questions

Seattle, WA(Zone 8b)

Does pumila only mean small or dwarf? Can the word have anything to do with flower petal 'shape'?

I have finally had a Dwarf Iris "Cherry Pop" bloom. It has take 568 days according to my plant journal. :-D LOL.......

but anyway.....I looked this plant up in the http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/33495/index.html plantfiles, and this looks nothing like my Cherry Pop. The flower shape is very much like my other dwarf Iris, sort of elongated and pointy. I can't find anything on Google.

I will go snap a photo of it and share it here.

Does anyone have Cherry Pop and can you share a photo of yours with me?

Here is the registered description for Cherry Pop:

SDB 12" (30 cm) M.
"S. crimson red; F. redder to dark area around dark red beard.

Pumila is one of several different dwarf iris species and species crosses.

Finally got a decent photo. This is a pretty good picture of it, colors are right on. Well on my monitor anyway. LOL!

So it's not red, and I don't think it's Cherry Pop, but it's cute anyway.
