Subject: [iris-photos] HYB: better shot of dark brown bitone

Been talking with Adam, offlist. Sent him this shot and decided you

all might enjoy it. This was taken by a better photographer that I, with

better equipment. Posted my shot 6-13-11.

Thing is, the foliage behind it makes it look dinky little, and it's not. This was

shot in the swampy, north-facing slope, facing up to higher ground. It's

actually above average height for a TB. And, yes, the falls are that dark,

especially newly-opened. I had said before it had clean hafts. Not quite true -

minimal haft marks.

If it behaves well enough, I will probably register it as Jerry Swann, for my dad.

I promised him any iris named for him would be appropriately masculine. He's 90

now, so I want to do it while he's still young enough to enjoy it.
