I saw it as an IB. The standards are too open for a TB. It is similar in 
form to some of Barry Blyth's newer IB's.

Do you mean that the beards protrude a little longer than normal? I thought 
that to be the case. Is this related to SA genetics?

I imagine CELCIUS, from Barry Blyth, has strange genetic. It seems to be 
fertile on everything. Are IB's generally slower increasers than SDB's? My 
CHERRY CHILD X YES babies have up to 8 increases so far (It's early Autumn - 
I planted them in May last year.)

I thought this of BEING BUSY, when I saw it. Do you know if it has any TB or 
IB breeding in it?
I enjoyed your photo, and hope you will delight us with many more. I'm 
hoping some of my seedlings are worthy of showing of on Iris-photos in 
spring.
