A Reckamp-Klehm "cream gold pink blend" (isn't that the same as a polychrome?); the bud tips are darkly colored, for extra interest.



This one has an older form, but it is a striking color magnet from across the garden. When I first saw it at a nursery, I kept getting drawn back to it from across the nursery; that's why it ended up on my shopping trolley.

(I have one seedling from 'Justin Brent' which has similarly attractive color, but with a small deep green throat blending into a wider and more starburst-y yellow pattern, and with recurved sepals and pinched petals. I would love to get some rebloom and ruffling on that seedling, and maybe some wider tepals, but it has been a reluctant pod parent. Both parents are registered rebloomers, and the other parent has rebloomed for certain in an older garden with less shade, so maybe my problem is with the seedling's shady location. Hmmm.)

edited because I accidentally hit the "Finished" button before I was actually done tweaking the post
Evaluating an iris seedling, hopefully for rebloom
