Red Irises 
i understand that one famous iris enthusiast has his shot gun 
loaded for the breeder who creates a red iris. Personally, 
I believe that there is no gene for pure red, and if some one 
gets such a flower it will be a miracle, so if he wants to 
shoot, why not aim at the man who introduces a plant of 
little merit? However, it is true, each year some new intro¬ 
duction seems closer to the luminous hue one sees in orien¬ 
tal poppies, and who knows but what he may use that gun 
some day soon?
