Here's another that I would tend to call a bi-tone, and some might call it an amoena, but the database lists as a bi-color. I'm only changing the database when it is obviously incorrect, not on the ones that are open to interpretation...so if you all think this should be called a bi-tone speak up and I can change it (or Sue, or anyone else who wants to).

Who Needs A Prince

The database incorrectly calls this one an Emma Cook pattern. Emma Cook is a genetically inherited trait. The pod parent side of this iris is heavily bi-color and the pollen parent is unknown. Based on this, and the appearance I am going to update the database to list this one as a bi-color.

...and since we included magenta with pink before I'm going to post a couple of magenta bi-color iris.

Tom...I am really liking Avenue of Dreams. Have you had it long enough to tell us how it's performing for you?


Avenue Of Dreams is one I had shipped from Australia, and it's not unusual for them to take a while to adjust to the change in hemisphere. It has increased very nicely, but hasn't bloomed yet. I'm hoping to see it bloom this spring.
Politicians are like diapers, they need to be changed often, and for the same reason.
