Keith Keppel is on Facebook, and I always enjoy reading what he has to say, and his iris photos are
so gorgeous- but my eyes just crossed when I tried to absorb what he said about glaciatas - and why they
have the colors that they do. It's not him, it's me! I'm still working on what's a plicata!

WANT

glaciata is the version of plicata inherited color without the markings. Keith invented the term.

Lucy, thanks...I'm sure it will eventually start to sink in

can't wait to see this one bloom

Well, you did it! Second thread! We had 4 in the top group this week. The Burseem thread was to top one.

Just a suggestion here -- I think we should stick to the topic name of the thread, and not get side tracked. The title of this one is "What Keppel Irises *do you currently have* in your garden? Doing a take-off in to *What Keppel Irises do you want* is a whole 'nother subject -- and could be a follow-up thread the following week.

Doing this would keep things easier to locate if someone needs to take a backward look -- and gives us a shot at another high-volume thread on the next weekly Newsletter.

Any thoughts?

Sounds good to me, we do tend to string these threads out over time,

I could list my wants and nearly hit 500 posts. If I dare looked into the little ones and beardless irises it could easily double.

Well, if you listed wants by each hybridizer then it still would be a long thread, but not as long.

Sounds like a good plan. I will save my wants for another thread. smiles
