NEFRET (Marky Smith, 2005).....AB.  The taller blossom has 1 standard and 4 falls, but one of the falls has 2 beards.  The lower blossom has 2 standards and 4 falls.  Both blossoms tried to have broken coloring.

 

Several blossoms this year had strange branching.....or none at all, like the pretty little IB that went haywire and had 3 buds side-by-side in one socket at the top of the stalk. But I guess Marky wins the prize, as 2 different irises of hers did the double beard gig.  There were many petals on some; some ABs lost their signals or had them re-configured in strange patterns; some bearded irises sent up a stalk with nothing on it.  However, despite these weird occurrences, it has been a decent bloom season.
