In this picture it had just started to rain with a few drops showing on the petals. In the lower right a stem of 'Classic Look' can be seen.

In this profile view the rain is increasing with more drops seen on the bloom. Just off the top of my head I think this iris won 'best red' in the 2003 competition in Florence, Italy; known as the 'Premio Firenze' competition. I will research this more in the AIS Bulletins to be sure.
