Of course, luminatas are "the hottest thing on the market" right now. I am
amazed, even given the tetraploid nature of modern TB's, at the diversity in
pattern expression. I was looking at Decipher in my garden; the width of
the streaks is completely different from the narrow lines in Skipalong.
Perhaps Skipalong is 3/4 luminata & 1/4 plicata? Of course, other factors
are also at work. Then I look at the fancy plicatas which I gather have 1
or 2 luminata genes? Some of these mixes are fun, but next to impossible to
predict. Of course, there also seem to be different types of plicata genes.
Some iris are dotted, some are stitched, and nobody seems 100% sure exactly
what "color breakers" are. Brad Kasperek says his best results come from
crossing one to a plicata, but it hasn't worked for me yet.
