Re: NOID SDB yellow very early

Loic, that's an interesting comparison.  On this one the main reasons for
rejecting the Vavoom ID were that Vavoom doesn't lighten much if any toward
the edges on the falls, which is very noticeable on this one, and Vavoom has a
higher contrast in colors.  I have two of these plants, and both, in different
locations and sun conditions, were decidedly light in color, as shown in the
original photo.  Vavoom has those very saturated falls that really stand out.
 So I suspect this one, like the other I posted, was labeled by a name that it
roughly resembles rather than what it is.  Nice shot of Vavoom, by the way. 
Here''s a close-up showing how saturated and solid the color is out to the
edges on the falls:

Incidentally, I got both of these mislabeled irises from someone who sells
quite a variety of irises and has a fine website.  (And I'm happy to have
them, whatever they are--I didn't pay too much.)

I've fluffed it up a bit with more contrast and a bit more saturation, and it
looks like the pictures of Vavoom i've found on internet, with even the
lighter stripes close to the beards.

    Subject: [iris-photos] NOID SDB yellow very early

    Any ideas what this could be? It was the first iris to bloom last year, 
was
    short even for an SDB, but most of my first-year plants bloomed short, so 
I
    don't think that counts. It was labeled Vavoom, but doesn't match the
    description. I don't expect a definite ID, but some suggestions might 
allow
    me to call it "that one that looks like [insert likely suspect]."

    Francesca, thanks for letting me know my message came through. It didn't 
make
    it to me, oddly enough (maybe the system doesn't send to the sender 
anymore?),
    but your reply came.

    Note on color: I'll be appending a version of this to every shot. The 
photo
    was processed on my Mac, which means that while it looks right on my 
screen,
    it's likely to look a little darker, with more saturated color, possibly
    shifted a bit more red, on the typical PC monitor. This isn't a defect in
    either type of monitor, just a typical difference. For this photo the
    difference is minor, but in some it's very noticeable, enough to describe 
the
    colors differently.
