Jan -- You write, âLooks
pretty close to me.â Yes, and 20 years apart. It was the nearness to
modern form that struck me about this stalk of the Witch. As I noted, I
grew it for several years and never saw it look like this. So, a little
lesson in cultivation, huh? -- Griff From: j*@yahoo.com

Here is
Valentino by Painter taken at the 2009 National in Kansas City. Looks
pretty close to me. Jan in Chatsworth From: J. Griffin Crump <jgcrump@cox.net> To: iris-photos@yahoogroups.com Sent: Mon, November 15, 2010 1:24:51 PM Subject: [iris-photos] OT: Quiz At the Fredericksburg Area Iris Societyâs harvest dinner on Saturday, there
were about 17 irises on display brought in by various members. As soon as
I entered the hall, one stalk stood out -- a large-flowered red.
When I saw its identity, I was amazed. Iâve grown this flower myself and
never saw it this fine. The falls of the top bloom are 7â across. I
asked Doug Chyz, who had brought it, if I could glean some pollen. He
said, âTake the stalkâ. So, here it is (attached). Itâs not a
glamour photo -- the falls have been removed from a spent bloom and
the top bloom is marred from travel, but I just wanted to present it as an
example of what this cultivar can look like. Anyone guess its name?
