A few years ago, I bought a showy German bearded iris - white with rusty brown veins. Really different and beautiful. This year, it is still beautiful, but I noticed quite a change.
The brown has turned to pale purple. Sometimes plants revert to the colours of their ancestry, and maybe that is what happened here.
A few more irises in my garden:
There don't seem to be as many irises as previous years. Maybe they die out after a while.

| An old variety that is not as showy or bright - it's more transparent. |

| This dutch iris grows from a bulb, planted last fall. The others above are all from risomes. |
