Re: HYB: question - aphylla, black, hafts

The aphyalla are in background of all blacks, somewhere. Bob Schreiner 
wrote a classic article on this, way back when. Can look up reference 
if needed.

The clearer hafts on darker plants may just be a result of more 
pigment, covering more area,  in lighter foem of pigment , may not 
appears as clean.

Subject: [iris-species] HYB: question - aphylla, black, hafts

   From discussion on iris-talk, black irises have cleaner hafts (less
 conspicuous veining on light ground) than many other colors. I didn't
 get a response to this question in that forum (yet) so thought I would
 try here.

 I've heard it said that the black pigmented irises trace back to I.
 aphylla.

 Just wondering... if black irises can contribute cleaner hafts, do most
  non-black irises with a lot of aphylla ancestry have fairly clean 
hafts?

 Compared to other species....

 Thanks.
