I would like to get some iris that are bright pink, coral, deep peach or salmon colors. Any ideas?
Without knowing any names I don't really have a way to look them up, so I thought I might get some suggestions here.
Thanks
bright coral or hot pink iris?
I just bought 2 rizomes of a hot pink iris from Wally World yesterday. Don't trust thier plants too much. Have seen them sell so many hostas with HVX. Does no good to tell them!! Well anyway. These 2 were so dry that I soaked them in water all night. I hope they make it because they are just beautiful in the pic on the bag. The name is "Cherub's Smile" if you want to look it up. If you can't find it I will take a pic of the pic on the bag if you want. It will be a long shot if they live. BEV
Hi,
A few very beautiful pink irises are Vanity, Twice Thrilling, Debbie Reynolds,Sweet Revenge. Lace Artistry and Beverly Sills. Sorry, have no photo's.
Those are all pretty, I have a few of them already.
But, I am looking for something much brighter in color.
Here's a link from a older post.

Here's another thread you might like to look at where I had asked for bright pink iris recommendations.

Lady Friend by Ghio is a very deep pink. Take a look at Pink Pincurls and Broken Record as well.
FYI, the end of season sale for Sutton's ends today for ordering... so you might want to hurry! =)

Happenstance and Hunter Pink are the two brightest pinks I have.
I don't have this one, but really like it. It is purply pink -- if that fits your wishes. It is called Sisters of Loretto and is available at Iris4U.

for MDBs try Tiny Titan & Fission chips, both orange.
Okapi Poppy is gorgeous! I love Good Night Kiss too:)
Crackling Caldera is an orange/yellow blend, but if you want something to smack visitors in the face, that's it. TB by Aitken.
Well the Okapi Poppy seems to be the closest to what I am looking for, but not really as bright or salmon as I had in mind.
some of the other threads mentioned were helpful.
thank you all for your ideas!
Okapi Poppy is a good grower for me. I recommend it.

Here is a very unusual and BRIGHT dark pink family color, I love this one!
Beautiful!
Thanks, this was the first year for that one and I was thrilled!
I just saw this page of recommended pink irises on Cooley's website. They're sold separately or at a discount as a set, and Cooley's is still accepting orders.

Frilly Lilly ; do let us know if you find a strong coral/melon iris. I've looked also. They are always pale. But I get many complimemts on my Pumpkin Cheesecake http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/36159/

My mom used to grow and love alot, One Desire
http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/35914/
She always referred to it as One Desire Pink to the family. She hasn't grown Irises for many years and I'm thinking about getting One Desire for my own garden.
I can't think right now if I have any other pink Irises in the ground.....
