Re: claw

Greetings,

I received a message from Sharon Mc Allister which she says was supposed to
have been a perfectly normal post to the list that got routed here for some
obscure reason we won't speculate about. She was going to give us all some
more information on the use of the term "claw". I told her I'd just post it
along to you. 

Sharon said:
 << Some else may have a more technical explanation, but I've always
thought the "claw" of any part of the iris flower was the narrow portion
attaching it to the rest of the flower.  The "claw of the standard" is thus
the narrow part at the base of the standard, which is often flushed with a
different color. >>
