Yellow I rises 
Until recently the development of yellow irises had lagsed 
somewhat/ many of them being small and pale. Irises be¬ 
long to the group of flowers that depend upon the honey 
bees for fertilization, so Mother Nature, in her wisdom has 
^ given them hues that the bees can see while on the wing. 
I believe it has been demonstrated that white and pale yel¬ 
low attract more than deep yellow, and red not at all, which 
is one reason that good luminous yellows have been hard to 
breed. Knowing this greatly increases the appreciation of 
such achievements as Sundipt. There is an iris that lingers 
in one’s memory long after the flowering season.
