Re: RE:PHOTO:TB: Dawn of Change

I received DAWN OF CHANGE as an extra several years ago, and decided it was a change in a direction I didn't want to go. 
 
Daffodils burst forth here about 3 days ago.  I let oak leaves remain on several gardens last year as a mulch, and find the fan growth in those beds much advanced over the others.  Also, the Aussies received from Tempo Two last year are ahead of the rest, plus a particular seedling of my own which simply stayed green over the winter.  --  Griff

I find Dawn Of Change a very unsatisfactory iris, It grows quite well but the colour always looks a bit dirty and the form is fairly floppy, For me it totally lacks the clarity of Crowned Heads. This is the best photo I've ever managed to get of it.

Adam, what is that saturated pink in the left backfield?  It looks very interesting!
 
Dawn of Change certainly does appear to begin compare to Keppel's CROWNED HEADS, WINTRY SKY, or ALPENVIEW.
 
I can report, incidentally, that ALPENVIEW is extraordinarily vigorous and healthy here in the fringes of Linda Mann's aptly described "Vale of Despair."  Few varieties thrive like Alpenview has.  It looks more like what I expected from Irises from my Idaho experience.
