Jo Ann, I couldn't find Cimmeron Rose in the database. Is it spelled correctly? I wanted to see the whole flower, I love the subtle dusty rose color on this one!

Marilyn

Try Cimarron Rose

You poor soul. I cant spell worth anything. Let me see if I can raise it. Its a small one.

Here is Pinnacle, found in a neighbor's yard, salvaged from an old home a couple of years ago:

Best fat caterpillar beard, Tobacco Chew! You have to enlarge the first one to see them both.

Thanks Jo Ann! It's lovely!

Marilyn: Welcome to ATP. Dont be shy about asking questions.

Best beard yet Sue! I was wondering when TC would show up in this thread. It is on my wish list simply for the beautiful beard!

Fascinating caterpillar beards! Thanks Sue.

I think I posted both of these but thought I'd give a shout as to how much beard information helps in id. I ordered Spartan several years ago, "dark red self, beard same." When grown out beard was bronze yellow. Conclusion: NOT Spartan. So of course I ordered Spartan from a different supplier. Meantime I id'd what was supposedly Spartan-Saturday Night Live. Here are the beard shots of each:






So when I moved a clump of "Spartan" and got the following beard I had to change the id label:

I have a request for a "beard and/or throat "shot! If anyone out there has a verified "Bright Hour", please post a pic, if you would! I'm trying to I.D. an iris, and the only pics I can find of Bright Hour, don't show the beard in as much detail as I'd like....Thanks....Arlyn

Sue -- TC is phenomenal -- great beard-shot!!! It even has a little space-age appendage!!

Arlyn,
There is a write-up and photos showing beards of both Wabash and Bright Hour at

Thanks, Dave!...Arlyn
