Vapor has that line to varying degrees, but on all my blooms it was very distinct.


Next up is Kilimanjaro Sunrise. It's falls weren't as dark blue as I hoped, but it is it's first year. The plant was still short when it bloomed and the blooms were on the small side too.

Thumb of 2016-06-13/Lestv/86e784 The later blooms had more yellow in their standards.


Okay, I got this iris as Green and Gifted, but it turned out to be Green Prophecy. I went gaga for Green Prophecy at Thelma's and bought one, not realizing I already had it beginning to bloom at home. This iris is more beautiful than my pictures. Very subtle shades of green, golden cream and tan come out in different light.

The very rain tattered ones at Thelma's. I saw that beard and knew it had potential!
