    This season (2018) I noticed that the amount of PBF on 'Pinkity' is variable, from rhizome to rhizome. Some rhizomes have almost no PBF, just a little bit down near the brown base. The PBF is much more noticeable on other rhizomes.

    See this thread: The thread "For those of you who have 'Pinkity'" in Irises forum

    The bottom line is that even though the AIS description and the hybridizer description do not mention PBF, per the hybridizer's daughter (Sheri Arevalo), 'Pinkity' "sure does have PBF". Per her father, the hybridizer, 'Pinkity' has a 1-1 1/4" "lavender" base (which he did not consider dark enough to be "purple").

    I have submitted a plant detail edit to indicate that the plant has PBF, because it looks purple enough to me. (I have it planted next to 'Bloodline', which does not have PBF. 'Pinkity' clearly looks to have a purple base, in comparison.)

    I have re-ordered 'Pinkity' (I originally bought it from the hybridizer's nursery, Blue J Iris) and will compare the basal foliage on the new rhizomes to those that I already have.
