Guilty as charged.  But if you read my Iris Forum posts, you no doubt 
realize that all I'm really doing is restating some of the great 
advice and information I've read here on iris-talk.

Gee, that doesn't bode too well for my Iris Patterns for Dummies 
project.  ;-)

I've spent countless hours at just about every iris-related website
on 
the net, and about all it's done in terms of learning iris patterns
is 
leave me more confused.  What I really need is for someone to point
me 
at a specific photo and say, "See that band of color around the edge 
of the fall?  That's what's commonly referred to as a halo, and it's 
different than a wire-edge or a ring because ... " or "This one is a 
variegata instead of a yellow-ground plicata because ... " or "That 
dotting is stippling but this dotting is peppering because ..."

A pictorial tutorial would make all of this soooo much easier!
