Hi Keith,
Good to see your comments on Iris- talk. I'd like to do a long post but I'm getting ready for two long Iris meetings today, Siberian/species convention 2003, and Canadian Iris Society Board meeting.
I know we discussed this but I'm interested if you have further thoughts on the red and brown on white ground plicatas. The brown and red on yellow is easy to explain. Anthocyanin pigment on yellow ground. There are a number of cultivars that are dotted or stippled red or browm on white. In these cases the yellow and the anthocyanin are both distributed exactly the same. On Charismas (sp?) of these (I have a photo of Summer Camp showing thusly) with part of the flower a normal red on white and the other half showing just yellow dotting.
From the land of snow and a very cold January.
