Subject: [iris-photos] HYB Contrasting hafts: (Circus Clown x Flower Child) X Florentine Silk

 

Hello everyone,

frost has hit but i had brought all the stems inside...so here is what opened this morning:

it is E133A: B099B: (Circus Clown x Flower Child) X Florentine Silk

 
I have been using other irises to get contrasting hafts, and this seedling came as a surprise. Of course, there is the influence of 'Circus Clown', but i didn't expect anything like this from 'Florentine Silk'.

I cannot wait to pollinate it next year with the pollent of this one:

that also has 'Circus Clown' in the backgrounds since it is D149A = Hola's sib B052A:(Circus Clow x Chemistry) X Burano

Hola's sib B052A:(Circus Clow x Chemistry)  has given me good things: http://www.flickr.com/search/?w=33249763@N04&q=b052a
