Re: TB:Child of Royalty vs Time Will Tell

Thanks for the input. I looked up Time Will Tell and don't see the fine rim on the falls so I'm pretty sure It's Child of Royalty. I must have ordered from Van Dyke's in 2003 because this is the third year I have had these irises. Some bloomed the first year, a few more the second year and finally these last ones in the third year.
 
I have Wild Jasmine and when I first saw my iris, I wondered if Wild Jasmine might be in it's background. Thanks again for your help.

Pearl, you bought from Van Dykes several years ago?  How many?  The suggested irises are fairly recent, but it is quite possible Cooley's sold extra stock to their wholesalers.  Also, possible that it's a sibling that wasn't introduced, depending on the policies at their business.

These share some genetics.
