I am an orange/pink combo nut. . I have many. And this one is prettier than any I have. Definitely worth introducing in my opinion.
So I have a question though for the hybridizers in general. I keep hearing talk of high bud counts. Is having a high bud count a requirement in order to introduce an iris or is it just important for winning awards.
This is why I ask. My personal standards are different. I want something that blooms every year , if possible, doesn't kill itself by overproducing, in other words thrives. Also I am always looking for unique bloom color combos; etc. I just wonder if sometimes someone might throw out, say a rare colored bloom or a rebloomer cause it doesn't have a high bud count.
I know everyone has different standards and I am just one person in the whole Iris loving sea but for me high bud counts are just a nice to have.
