Iris for your smilin’ eyes

yellow iris

I planted these last year, so this is their first time blooming. I thought they were “Harvest of Memories” — that’s what I’d written in my notes when I was figuring out what varieties to buy and where to put them — but now that they’ve bloomed, I’m confused — I think that the falls on Harvest of Memories are supposed to be the same shade of yellow as the upper petals. As you can see, the falls (lower petals) on these blooms are tan. Did my order get mixed up? Is there some variation in Harvest of Memories colors? Did I actually order something different and neglect to change my notes?

Doesn’t matter, in any case, I like them a lot, whatever they are.

Update: here’s another picture showing how I’ve grouped my yellow iris with “Earthborn.”
