This one is a sibling the the one above. Seems like you have to expand the pictures to get to see the details.

The rim is small, but kind of bright.

Very Dramatic, Tom! I like the color when the sun lights the standards.

I agree. That rim makes a statement on its own.

It can be small traits which make a difference.

It appears to have heavy substance too, is that the case?

Thanks for the comments. This one grew enough in one year to send up two bloom stalks. It didn't require staking even in high winds, and the blooms lasted a long time. This one continued to bloom into the late season. I don't think it's anything to introduce, but I may work with it some more.

This one had the bloom stem broken off before it opened, I brought it inside and it did open, but it's hard to know it's real color, as my experience is the color is washed out of those that open indoors, at least in my experience it's been that way.

It's Pollen parent is Can't Touch This, and the Pod Parent is Gypsy Lord. The color is pretty accurate, but like I said, it may be a whole different color and shape if it opened outdoors in the sun. I guess I have to let it live to see another year just so I can see what it's like.

That, is a gorgeous iris. I like the blush of blue on the tips of the standards and the small rim of lt blue on the falls plus the overall color combination. If it stays blue/white/yellow it is a keeper!

I didn't notice that you could see that blush of blue on the standards. It was hard to try to capture that in the picture, but I guess it got it. I didn't think it came through. You're very observant!
