Looks a lot like Color Capers, may be in the wrong place.
Politicians are like diapers, they need to be changed often, and for the same reason.

Thank-you for looking at my photos. ❤️

I've had this iris growing in my garden since 2012 long before Color Capers was introduced and you will see this photo was uploaded long before CC was introduced.

Plus I don't have Color Capers. The blossom meets the correct La Scala description of pink.

I believer you may think the hues are slightly off because my picture was taken in the bright mid day sunlight. I honestly have no clue why you don't like it. Confused

It's definitely not 'Color Capers' (unfortunately there is no information on the photo itself stating when it was uploaded, but looking back through the plant database images by ID, it's clear that this photo was uploaded in 2017) but I am not convinced it is 'La Scala' either - the standards don't look right to me.

It's not Color Capers.

Can't say with any certainty, but I suspect it is La Scala, just a poorly color balanced picture of it. The colors of the leaves and other things in the background also seem off.

There are several of dark top irises similar to Color Capers. I didn't say I didn't like your iris, just that the color is very off. Way more saturated than I've seen it. I suppose it could be a camera thing.
Shrug!

Saturation is likely the issue. When I took a picture back then the photo didn't look like what I was seeing in real-time with my own eyes so I would often adjust the saturation to make the photo color look closer to what I felt I was seeing but that's sort of a useless thing to do because each devise screen shows photos in different saturations anyway.
