Re: Re: I. paradoxa forma choshab

  Dear Ken; The typical form of I. paradoxa seems to
be what you have. forma choschab has pure white
standards with marked a little with varying degress of
purple veining the falls are violet/purple. The first
picture on Dennis' website is ‘Paradoxa
Albo-Lutescens’. 'Mirabilis' is more yellow overall.
glad to see some good pictures.
