Thanks Elsa, I will have a few more pinks coming to look over later once I get to more of the newer models that have bloomed.
This next one is from the Pod Parent Brazilian Art and Pollen parent Glamour Pants.

This is one that you will have to expand to see the interesting details in the standards.
13-7-C
This one opened during a long period of rain, I took this picture before it relaxed with the intent of going back and getting a better picture later. Well I never got around to it. It improved a lot once relaxed. It's fertile and I used it's pollen on Mixed Signals. Wonder what that will produce. I also like the beard color.

13-7-C is a really nice child from its parents! Love the light rim on the standards and that the fall color retains some of the red from Glamour Pants. Really nice. Form looks good as well.

The beards look even larger when it is relaxed, makes me mad I didn't get back to it and get a better picture, but it was raining so much while it was in bloom it wasn't easy, and I just forgot about getting more pictures.
If you look at the picture on the right you can see another sibling of this one left of the picture, it has a rim on the falls, but none of the veining on the standards. That one got trashed. I didn't take a picture of that one.

I crossed my Purple seedling to Adriatic Waves

Adriatic Waves Pollen Parent
And got a lot of purple selfs, But among them was this one. 14-7-A
I know that this one is going to make some of you wonder why I wasted my time posting it, and others might think it's unusual. It seems to be a BB size. I wonder where these colors came from?

Somewhere back in the parentage was a non-purple iris or two. After seeing a cross of Thomas Johnson's produce every color in the spectrum I am not surprised by your one off. The genetics of how it happens is enough to make my head spin though.
It has ruffles from Adriatic Waves, but the yellow shoulders and yellow beard and pretty much every other color on it are unique to it. Really pronounced crest on the style arms. Are you keeping or tossing it?

I kept it for the time being. Not sure yet what I'll do with it, I'm surly not gong to introduce it though, maybe just have it for a conversation piece.

You didn't waste your time posting the photos of the pale child or Adriatic Waves. I learn a lot from the information posted in this forum. I am very surprised to learn that those two parents can create an iris like that.
As you might imagine I got a lot of pinks. Here's the first one that opened.
Seedling 15-3-A
The underside of the falls is more pink then the top side.

Very nice Tom. I'll take two! And I like the raindrops which seem to add to its appeal. It will be good to follow up its qualities over time. i.e. bud count, plant health, hardiness, etc. Good work!
