{Disarmed} Re: textured seedling


Hi,
 
This texturing looks identical to what happens to many Iris in my yard after open for a few hours, and most by the second day.  Here it is caused by dehydration of the tepals, which allows the vascular system to stand out more strongly in relief.  Of course this is in a climate that by bloom season for TB's is usually hot, dry and windy in the day, and dry and windy at night too.

Subject: [iris-photos] textured seedling

I found this one interesting, if you look closely at the falls, this Babbling Brook x Thornbird seedling shows some deep texture that I've never seen in an Iris before.  I didn't notice it yesterday when it bloomed but saw it today when I realized that it had those nice spoons.
 
I'm going to hold on to this one for observation in hopes that it'll grow like this again next year.  Too bad it isn't that vigorous, this appears to be typical of many Thornbird seedlings.
