Yes it is my iris and I did the cross. I crossed a historic iris with a more modern iris. You can see the colors of a rainbow in it and it has a orange beard. In addition, it shows plenty of diamond dust all over. And a band of metallic gold around the edges of the petals.
Here is another photo.
I sharpened the photo in order to see the diamond dust.
It's difficult to photograph gold - look closely at the edges

Oh, My Goodness, Margie!

Your creation is MAGNIFICENT! I'm hoping that in the future you will be offering "babies" from your new beauty. Are you going to name in "Rainbow" or "Over the Rainbow" or something like that?

No matter what you name it, I would love to have one some wonderful day!

Congratulations!

Me too! Me too! Me too!!!!
It is fabulous! I have been wondering about crossing historics with modern. I see the gold dusting. What is the cross, if you don't mind me asking?
I'm so glad I asked about it. You should be very proud of this one!
