| A couple of months ago, I was looking through some tall bearded iris pictures on the internet and one in particular really caught my eye. It was a rich chocolate brown color with an almost satin sheen to it. I have no idea what the name was, I think it might have had chocolate or coffee in the title. Does it sound familiar to anyone? If not, does anyone have suggestions for some beautiful brown/rust toned TB irises to add to my garden this spring? --- Mariah |

| I would really like a brown iris as well. You know, not orange but real brown like a brown pair of shoes. No one has managed to breed one that is brown enough for me. |
|
| They are not sold very often because apparently brown shades are not that desirable and don't sell well but the rich brown one I saw was beautiful! It was a true solid chocolate brown, I should have saved the website... |

| If you find it again, post it here. I will do the same. |

| This is a yummy iris in tones of russet, etc. Many pics online are inaccurate in color. This one is accurate. Ruffled Copper Sunset |
|
| What a lovely iris! I'm such a big fan of the russet color, thanks so much for the suggestion. I'll see if I can find any sellers of it this year! I actually came across a decently brown iris, I'm not sure if this is the one I mentioned above but it sure comes close! It seems like a true rich chocolate brown from most photos. I think I might try to purchase it... It's called Chocolate Ecstasy |

| That's quite brown indeed. Changing Seasons and Coffee Whispers are golden brown. Huckleberry Fudge is brown. And I think there are some Aril irises that are really truly brown. |

| Ruffled Copper Sunset is a very beautiful iris but that is not brown. |
|
| Huckleberry Fudge is nice shade of brown! I think that's another one I might look into getting. :) |
