Prior to digital images Kodachrome film often represented "Blue" irises with more red-tone than was natural, making them more lavender. Conversely digital images often lose too much of the red-tone making them seem bluer than real life. A collection of images from both sources will lead some to jump to the conclusion that there are two different irises being depicted. It has been suggested to "Dumb Down" the archive of images of a cultivar so the viewer will not be confronted by these visual disparities. But we have chosen to believe in the sophistication of our audience and continue to offer a historical archive as it stands.
