Like that one. I really like the Arils with the pronounced veining, and that one has nice rich color too.

I know I had Sparkling when I was planting last year, but I couldn't find it. I think I mislabeled a plant and that this is Sparkling. What do you think?

It's more purple in person, my camera turns purples into blue.

Did you notice the leafhopper on the iris bud

Darn pests!

The TBs are starting to open for Superstition Iris Gardens. Here is the first of many new seedlings. This one is not fully open yet, but it still manages to make a statement!

"TBs are starting to pop open now in this early bloom season. One of my crosses for veining has produced a nice result. 13-TB-25-04, parentage is (Sweetly Sung x Haunted Heart) X (Smoky Shadows x Just Crazy). Nice wide overlapping falls."

I love the Sand Dancer cross, but then Sand Dancer is extraordinary, so it's child has a good start.

Love the amber color of the seedling too.

People seem to be working for veining now that it is in favor after some spectacular flowers appeared.

I have noticed that too Lucy. I think the veining adds interesting contrast.

Thought I would show the three "Sand Dancer" crosses side by side by side.

13-AB-12-03 then 13-AB-12-10, then 13-AB-12-11

I would say that was a good cross so far!
