In the beginning, I didn't think of these as plicatas. Still don't for that
matter. However, another hybridizer, with much more experience than I, said
they were!? Another "truth" disputed. What class are the yellow/white
plicata appearing iris? Also the ringed orange/pink? And are the pink
ground, purple marked irises not plicatas either?
Don't believe it's LIGHT BEAM. Another I've grown.
While I'm on the subject of iris terms that don't make sense to me--How can a
white iris with a red beard really be a self? Oh, I know the genes are
different in the beards, but, still, it seems a contradiction in terms!
