So are you suggesting that bee pods only make white irises? Or  that the 
seeds of bee pods will produce results sufficiently uniform in color to  suggest a 
comprehensive transformation? What then about the irises that set  the bee

I believe it has been suggested that vestigial "nubbins" left in the  bed ma
ke white irises, but I found the theory rather unconvincing.
