So tell me of your favorite spaceage iris of those I have mine would be mystic lover. Of newer stuff I love Mike Sutton's lightsaber. When I started hybridizing I wanted a spaceage arilbred. Don't get it wrong it already exists but of the 2 I know both are 1/4 bred or disenrolled they are kalifas horn poor colors and substance and hubble-space telescope disenrolled but nice. So show me what I've missed in the years I was gone.
I have several clumps of Thornbird and some of the blossoms in one clump have both horns and spoons and I really enjoy seeing what it blooms with but it is not my favorite right now. Perhaps with the gloomy weather yellow just seems more cheerful.
Thro' all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul— How can I keep from singing?

The colors on 'Mercy Marci' are wild. 'Alien Mist' looks very well named... I may have to hunt that one up.
I have yet to see any of my SAers bloom. My only registered ones are 'Mesmerizer' and 'Glacier Point', though I also have the unregistered 'White Extra', and (maybe, if it hasn't died, if it is one of my two NOID pots) an unregistered seedling sent to me by mistake.

I like flounces better than horns, but the horns on 'Glacier Point' (which I bought almost solely for the name, lol) and 'Alien Mist' really make the bloom something special.
Evaluating an iris seedling, hopefully for rebloom
