When I first read Emma Cook as a color pattern in a vendor description, I was scratching my head for a while. Good to have a better understanding seeing all these! I'm really loving them too, and was lamenting that Emma doesn't live in my garden. Suddenly I realized, maybe she does....aha! I planted Jazz Band last summer!

Did a little reading in 'The World of Irises' after lunch & EC does come from the amoena pattern. Emma Cook itself was listed as have rather pinkish line around the falls. Paul Cook in the 1950s produced dominant amoenas. Another book on hybridizing mentions that EC has an inhibitor for blue which
produces color as a narrow band around the falls.

OK Tom, while you are hybridizing why not produce some Emma Cooks. They might be seen as a narrow tutu.

Too funny Lucy! Rolling on the floor laughing I could have some as I've used a lot of them in crosses. We'll have to see. Maybe I should work on a pink band of color!
