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.
