Leslie, both the database pic and the pic that I took yesterday of 'Luminosity' were taken in shade, so no joy there.

I did manage to grab a minute just now to go out and check on the bloom, mostly intending to sniff it and verify the musky fragrance (yes, check!). To my surprise, the beard color is now the golden orange that is displayed in the database, as opposed to the lemon yellow that it was yesterday.

What the heck?! Confused I know that bloom colors can fade over time, but do beard colors change? Do they intensify? Blinking

Oh, and I scrolled back to look at the 'Hells' Fire' pics and read the comments. Hmm... I don't care for tailored blooms (and certain names), but that is a nice color... and I'm still waiting for Nola's to open... Whistling
Evaluating an iris seedling, hopefully for rebloom
