This first is maybe my favorite of them all, because of that bit of blue (or lavender?) in the center of the falls:

However, for some odd reason I also keep looking at this seedling:

I don't understand it, because I'm not entirely sure that I like bright bold golden yellows on irises and that is my initial response to this seedling (but then, I like 'That's All Folks' so who knows). Maybe it's the softer yellow in the standards, in combination with the bit of pink? And that orange beard, tipped violet? Nicely put together, a subtle symphony as it were, definitely an attractive iris. Thumbs up (I am a bit confused though...the second image looks different from the first, wrt the standards. Are they the same seedling? The standards on the first image look like they are pink with pale yellow edges, whereas on the second image they look yellow with white edges. The first image is the attention grabber for me, the second one not particularly.)

This one is also nice:

Evaluating an iris seedling, hopefully for rebloom
