I suspect BitofTrouble's iris is mis-identified.

I agree, this doesn't look like, or fit the description of Iris 'Pop The Question' which is described as: Buttercup yellow standards, lavender infusion; yellow falls, lavender infusion paling towards edge, carmine red on hafts, buttercup yellow edge, purple median stripe.

Bad lighting for the pic I posted. This one shows the color better-still not real good, but better. Came directly from Schreiners. Need to remove pic but don't know how.

LOL, I don't know a thing about Irises but it doesn' look like the Schreiner's website photo of 'Pop the Question': https://www.schreinersgardens....

Maybe coloration is variable depending on light, soil, etc.?

Contact them as you definitely got a mislabeled iris. Maybe they can ID it for you and we can move it to the correct entry.

I don't agree that it's a mislabeled iris. Schreiner's juices their catalog pictures to such an extent that you often can't rely on them for identification. Their registry descriptions are also sometimes less than precise. The picture uploaded by @Bitoftrouble looks pretty similar to other images of Pop the Question I've been able to find online.

On the other hand, I'm not sure about the picture uploaded by @EllenTN . The differences could just be a result of lighting and/or weather, blended irises like that do tend to be a bit variable. Don't know. Shrug!
