Glo-Ray looked great in the pictures I've seen... Probably should add that one to my wish list.

Schreiner's definition of Luminatas made sense to me, but apparently isn't completely accurate.
"An Iris whose style arms and hafts are white or yellow, and with veining on falls."

But the more technical definition from World Iris is more like what Kent wrote.
http://www.worldiris.com/publi...
"Luminata is a genetically reproducible anthocyanin pattern having its color present in an irregular marbling in the central areas of the petals and absent in the peripheral areas. The marbling effect is produced by non-anthocyanin veining (white or yellow), and there is no anthocyanin in the hafts, the stylearms or the beard."

Kent, I'll have to look through my pictures and see if I can make sense from these definitions..
But offhand, I think Arctic Burst and Starship Enterprise were ones I questioned as being possibilities before.. but I see Starship Enterprise has color all around the falls, which would eliminate it. It is also listed as Emma Cook flower pattern... Now can someone explain what that is to me? Confused
The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us.
