Pop quiz? Are you going to give me a grade? I'm going to fail....
>What color is smalt?
Deep blue, probably much the same as the more usual description 'cobalt
blue'.
>What color is orchadee?
I could only guess. Some shade of orchid maybe?
>What was National I. G.?
Another guess. Nat'l Iris Group?
>What is an RC iris?
This is short for regeliocyclus, an aril hybrid between an regelia aril and
an oncocyclus aril. Further, the pod parent is the regelia aril and the
pollen parent oncocylus because of those parents are reversed, then it would
be an OG instead of an RC.
If I'm to have 2 points taken off for incorrect guesses as opposed to merely
zero for leaving well enough alone, then I probably am going to end up with
a negative grade, not just a failing one :).
