Hey Folks,
In the ongoing effort to include as many PBF irises as possible in my
list of PBF cultivars, I checked all of this year's acquisitions when
they arrived. PBF is so much easier for one as nearsighted as I to see
when the rzs are out of the ground and can be easily lifted to within 2"
of one's face. ;-) Having looked so closely at so many rzs, I am left a
bit bewildered by a few cvs that exhibited no antho coloring on the
leaves but DID exhibit a narrow ring of red-purple right at the juncture
of rz and fan. Is this a very slight expression of PBF or a PBF
precursor of some sort? Should I include these "ringed" cvs in my PBF
list?
Please don't ask me which cvs exhibited the rings. I was in such a hurry
as I unpacked boxes and jotted notes, I just wrote down the names of
every rz that showed me any sort of antho coloring without designating
the degree of same.
I will appreciate any insights,
Laurie
