Re: RE: Variegatas
Could a pastel iris such as Lullaby of Spring with yellow standards, lavender falls be called a Variegata?

<would you really put EDITH WOLFORD in this category? I would put her
in with the bi-colors. She's too blue.>
Walter: The color of the falls can also be (by definition) a blend of
the red/purple/violet/
brown. We must also take into consideration that the more acid the pH in
the soil in which she is grown the deeper will be the color of the
falls. As Edith Wolford has grown for me here in the Pacific Northwest
she has always had darker blue-violet falls, ergo the reason for my
including her in with the others.
