I am an avid fan of Adoree and her lineage, and this wonderful hybrid from Paul is perhaps the best of the ones I've been lucky enough to grow and observe. Besides the gorgeous and uniquely similar color pattern of Barry's Valley of Dreams, what makes this hybrid special is the vigorous/ prolific growth compared to Adoree, and the tall, strong bloom spikes that tower up in the garden and with beaming pride announces its magnificence when it first begins to bloom. This quickly moved up into my top ten (and anyone who's been growing Irises for five years or longer knows that this is a pretty special group and that, depending on the day, the positions are all interchangeable).
