Maybe ten years ago I bought several iris bulbs from Schreiner's.  I picked a well rounded selection of colors, including orange, yellow and black.  They are pretty much in full bloom right now and 90% of them are a purple and white combo, actually two different purple and white combos.  Its like they are dominant or something.  I have a couple black, which are really a dark, dark purple.  But not an orange or yellow in sight.  Does anyone know what's going on here?

@depglass    Sounds like a problem for an advanced botonist.  Why don't you contact the company from which you bought the iris?

Many years ago I bought one yellow iris plant from long-gone Frank's Nursery & Craft store.  It was in a swan planter that sat atop my mail box.  During the winter it fell and grew into 6  plants from the one dorm.

30-some years later, it has been divided almost annually and hundreds of plants given away.  This is my front flower bed:  all are yellow.  You may have gotten the wrong set.

I ordered individual bulbs in different colors.  This is the first year it has been so predominantly purple.  Yes, I can call Schreiners, but I've had good luck getting answers on most problems on this board.  Your yellows are beautiful.
