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. ThisÂwas taken by a better photographer that I,
with
better equipment. Posted my shot 6-13-11.
Â
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.Â
It's
actually above average height for a TB. And, yes, the falls are that
dark,
especiallyÂnewly-opened. I had said before it had clean hafts. Not
quite true -
minimal haft marks.
Â
If it behaves well enough, I will probably register it as Jerry Swann,
for myÂdad.
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.Â
