RE: TB: HYB: clear rim on falls


Hi Fancelle

 

Haft markings were also once considered a fault. There are a number of irises out there that do have  what I call a “crystalline” edge. I like it and have considered breeding for it. If it enhances the bloom, keep it.

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.
