Lestv said:Your plicata (#10) looks an awful lot like Acoma (even down to the orange to purple beard).

I like the striated falls and orange beard on #2, and really like #7 (pink beard) but wish the standards were a bit bigger.


Yeah, the plicata probably isn't going to stick around long, although more because of its growth habits than any resemblance to other irises. I just found it interesting as it came from two non-plicata parents.

The second iris was one of my favorites, but it may be a bit of wishful thinking. I did a number of crosses, eight to be exact, involving 'Dawn to Dusk' in 2012. Turns out it may not be the best parent. I tossed almost all of its seedlings as they bloomed this spring, except for that one.
