Fantastic flowers. Just wish you had listed the names.

[@evelyncastro-lake9716]

Great video, but I wish you would list the names.

[@AkiraElric1985]

Truly beautiful flowers

[@kathysullivan1980]

Great informative video. I wish I could have understood the names of the iris varieties, especially the first one (a true blue).

[@oysterman2517]

Agree. I had to look for it and I think I found it at: garden.org/thread/view/3103/Which-Dykes-Medal-Winners-do-you-grow/ The name is "Yaquina blue". Cheers

@@oysterman2517 THANK YOU! Both for the name and the whole reference! It was wonderful content throughout. Unfortunate I couldn't hear/understand one name...both of their voices were lovely, but so soft. I also wish there could have been a printed name provided for each.

Am I color blind? The “True Blue” iris appears purple to my eyes. Please help.

[@AviSLeigh]

It’s a blue purple. There’s red based purple, and blue based. The iris you are asking about is a blue based purple. Hence it being called a blue iris.

[@Chanaaaaa442]

It’s gorgeous. I’m going to have to add it to my garden! ❤️❤️❤️

We have the yellow one as well, but I’m not sure is it the same as in this video.

Iris are my favorite flower , but my particular likes with them are different than most people , first I love an old heirloom plant , and I want a plant that does not produce many blooms to a stalk , that does not appeal to me the way it does with other people .

[@steveneardley7541]

I agree. I like the simple, elegant form of older irises. I think the ruffly modern form is ugly. It's a complicated enough flower as it is, without losing its lines in ruffling.
