Been busy and haven't been to ATP for a while. Preparing to order a few Iris, I found I really liked Superhero with it's well defined border on the standards.

Do you know of other Iris that have a well defined border on their standards? [Others I already have seen are Ring Around Rosie and sib Whispering Spirits, and Bride's Halo.]
Thanks .

Gabe @Cuzz4short loves rimmed iris and can probably name quite a few. Slovak Prince comes to mind for me -

I'm not sure if this fits your idea of "well-defined" or not...

I don't recall the name, but there was also a new release that had a dark blue halo.

Thanks. I'm going to put a database photo for each so I can refer to this thread later.














Is Imperial Edge a New One? . . . could find it in the database

Imperial Edge is on Sutton's, but on the Sutton's site. I tried the find the post with even more, but no luck.

New then, and not listed in ATP database yet.

Found another one while browsing and Iris site:

Some more, but these are new releases.

Thanks Rob. Seeing the thread "Fantasy Crosses", or whatever it's entitled, and seeing Superhero which really caught my attention, I thought it would be fun to specifically breed for borders or edges on the standards. There's a lot of plicatas that might work as well, though I didn't want to go plicata direction. Just for like blue/purple edge on the standards (or even rose colored), there are many plicatas . . . but I thought I saw somewhere that plicata produces plicata.

So perhaps an Iris like Classic Look could be used to arrive at a blue edge on the standards:


Very different, not sure that I like it for looks, but possibly useful:

Napa has some great ones I got some from

It seems that some of the edges or borders on the standards don't seem to be as defined when northern grown, or seems my observation, and maybe not so (this one I specifically chose a more northern grown flower photo as the warmer climate the edge appeared more prominate:

Wow, that one is a beauty, but not likely I will be ordering from out-of-country.
