Re: TB: HYB: clear rim on falls

Hmmmmm, well if it adds to the flower why is it a defect?  does it cause problems with flower ie. opening or twisting ?  I have an ice blue seedling that has a clear rim that I really like and have used it for breeding specifically for the rim on the standards....probably just comes down to personal preference.

Subject: [iris-photos] TB: HYB: clear rim on falls

This seedling of mine has a noticeable clear rim on its falls.  In sunlight it glitters like tiny drops of dew.  I thought that it was pretty and gave distinction to the iris.  However, noted hybridizer said that he considered that type of rim a defect and destroys seedlings that have it.  I would like other opinions about this.
