Hi Loïc,
So that gorgeous brown thing is still alive then?!
Importation isn't impossible and when there's a will there's a way. At least
we're on the same hemisphere! I would be thrilled to have the opportunity to
work with its pollen, if you could arrange that as my translator! ;) The more
I look at it, the more I love it. It almost makes me think of 'Touch Of
Mahogany'.
The branching and stalk count is great on 93P7, especially
for rebloom. I'm so used to rebloom looking so tortured with stunted stalks
and distorted blooms (if it happens at all). Granted, it is beside a building,
but still, I'm impressed. Does that stalk at left have 4 branches AND a
spur??
Thanks for humoring me through all my questions. I'm looking
forward to seeing more from your French cohort(iculturist)s. :)
Brock

That could be easily done. I am also going to ask him to put the parentages on
his site.

I just can't get it out of my mind. Is there any hope that we might see it in
person someday? I really do think those colors are stunning! It's one of those
irises that I keep going back just to gawk at. :)

Brock, i am so sorry, i don't know how i mixed 93i4 and 98J4, but the
parentage i gave you was the parentage of 98J4, the red one with hooks 8
pictures under the brown one you noticed.
