Another batch, then I need a break!

Clarendon - I think this one is quite pretty. The database calls Clarendon a pink self, but this has white on it, so the jury is out. Wiki has no pictures either.

Palladium - Schreiner
I think this one is correct, as rose, salmon copper with orange gold beard. It is a nice looking iris in person.

Thick and Creamy - John Weiler

Thumb of 2016-05-12/Lestv/279d80 Love the daisies as background in these pics!


Louder Still - Tell Muhlestein

Yeah, it is pretty loud. Very nice!
