I really like Aardvark Lark -- like the stripe down the middle of the falls. Impressionist has that too -- it always intrigues me.

Don't know Mary Ann, but I did! Burgard had it and I couldn't resist after being enticed by Tom's shots of it last year. Hmmmm, resist has not been a strong point of mine this year.....

Number 71 is Never Been Kissed, another nice lavender. I tried taking the picture in full sun thinking I'd get more accurate color. It's closer, but not quite right.

I had the same trouble, Tom...."bright overcast" conditions seemed to give the most accurate color, on my "el cheapo" camera...but I really think this is one of those iris where you say "You had to be there !!"

It's a very good grower, in fact I'll need to thin it this year in case you want one.... Smiling
