No -- that would more relate to *regardless of whether a paint is a tobiano or overo -- it is still a horse*. It doesn't help you to identify what is a tobiano or an overo. See?
I think what I was looking for is a firm definition by which I can identify the two types of Irises in the future -- a frame of reference for identification.
You may have given it to me -- "you can tell by how the pigment is applied to the petal edge".
In both Designer Art and Clothed in Glory -- the colored edge is not a distinct band -- it's more of an *aura* of color. And it's a soft version of the color. And I believe this is true of Queen's Circle too -- gotta go look at it again. And the standards have no rim color at all. This is true for these three -- is it true for all Emma Cooks?
In the plicata example that you showed (can't remember the name) -- it had rim colors well-defined and a saturated color, and on both standards and falls. Would that qualify as a definition of a plicata Iris?
Am I close?
