   * I moved into my mother in law&#39;s house after she died, and these are in the iris bed. They have a purple foliage base, and appear exactly as described above. A photo never really shows the contrast between the light loloromg of the petals compared to the brilliant orabge of the beard. I am in Salem, VA and the first bloom opened today, with several more on each stalk.  -- Main.WikiGuest - 03 May 2022
