Nemo! That's funny!

Arlyn, hubby popped off a Batik that did that yesterday. I told him we were taking pics of them. He looked confused and said "Why?" I showed him this thread and he said he would take a pic next time. Guess he gets it now.

The very last germanica. Everything is perfect except an extra standard pretending it's a fall.

A couple of cold nights have had an affect ....

Yaquina Blue with only two falls - and very short.




Purple Streaker with four falls and a double beard.




And Drinks at Sunset apparently had a few too many... Three and a half falls - and broken color stripes.





I wonder what was in that drink??

Drinks must have been at a "mixer." (Groan...... bad punning zone).

Abby And Me had a different sort of chimera thing going on. I would call it more of a bad hair day:

Usual:



Hair Day:

Ha! That's great!

Crispette.....chemical


Sign Of Virgo .....?

Omigosh -- the hair on those flounces...............

Kind of looks like the funky lettuce that comes in my spring mix.

You know, I can picture that Celia.

Maybe that could be the new designation. Hairy flounce.

There are some Space Agers that always have just the "Hairy" flounces. I can't rememember though how they are usually described.

Ive been trying to ID this NOID and the closest choice was and Arilbred 'Foursome' until I found your thread. I think it must belong here? Yes? I quess I'll try again next year when it will maybe look proper. It is very late too. Our Iris have come and gone.

Leslieray -- that bloom sure looks like RoundUp damage. Did you spray near this (these) Iris?

It makes it difficult to ID when they don't form properly.

Perhaps RoundUp from food scrap compost is adding up. Evil stuff.

Had 5 Elizabeth Poldark with NO standards!


Gallant Theme standard under fall


Deformed Machismo with extra beard and only two standards.

Lots of Mary Frances with just two standards also.

Another Batik with 4 on the floor.



Mexicana 'looking" strange....but wait ! Not really, just 'crowded"





May Allison has 6 standards....but that's the way it's SUPPOSED to look !


Midsummer's Eve has some kind of weirdness happening !

I haven't had any with 4 petals yet. Just the one with 4 standards. I keep watching Batik but it isn't happening.

If I could just figure out a way to make batik do this consistently........I'd give it a Japanese name and register it

I was thinking that your Batik made a very nice flattie!


Jane - that is unusual for so many to all be missing the same part! Something strange is going on there indeed!
