I may have mentioned Beverly Sills before. Here is how this iris is described on the Shreiner's webpage:
Exciting coral pink all over,
Beverly Sills is one of the most talked about and sought-after pink Iris of all time.
She is THE BEST Pink iris, according to almost everybody. I have several pinks, but have wanted this famous and supposedly fabulous iris.
So I bought one, and it was NOT Beverly Sills.
Somebody made a mistake somewhere.
The iris I bought labeled Beverly Sills was NOT even PINK.
Oh well. Sometimes that happens, and so, last year, I tried again,
and bought another "Beverly Sills"... imposter!
Although I will have to say, this light lavender with tangerine beard (name???) is very attractive.
Maybe I'll try again in a few years, and buy another iris labeled 'Beverly Sills.'

Whatever names are, the blooms are very pretty! Nice pastels!
I think I prefer the lavender over the pink. Very pretty. Plus, Dan wrote a song about the color lavender. I bet if you asked nicely he'd sing it for you.
Lol, sorry to hear about your Beverly Sills disappointment.
I didn't realize there was a black market for irises! Sounds like they're doing a bustling trade. :)
Beverly Sills, the operatic soprana, would be disappointed that her name is being used on imposters. But......they are both lovely so maybe she wouldn't mind too much.
