Re: Enfant Prodige and Pixie Won (from Iris City Gardens cat.)

That's all very observant. I used to grow both those irises, and
NEVER thought they looked alike. But when I saw the pictures coming
in I couldn't believe my eyes. My recollection of Pixie Won is that
it was much darker than shown in these photos.

Anyway, now when I look back at all the photos I can clearly see the
distinctions you & Laurie have pointed out.

Thanks, everyone!
