 Hi
 The Iris in question is Besotted )Border Bearded)

Walter & Barry -- Thanks!

The flower in the photo bears a strong resemblance to a pattern I've often 
observed in my AB seedling patch, in which the signal spot is so large that 
it approaches a halo pattern and thus loses its characteristic "onco look".  
I noticed this first among the ABMs with pumila heritage, where the two 
patterns were superimposed but from a distance the pumila spot overwhelmed 
the onco signal.  It has also shown up more recently, however, among those 
with only aril & TB ancestry.  

Wonder what would happen if the ZING ME line were crossed with ABs.....

BTW, Barry's SOSTENIQUE is still my all-time champ for producing quarterbreds 
with good signal spots.
