I saw Thai Orange in Denver and it was outstanding. I think the hybridizer 
was Rick Ernst (Cooley's). I don't grow any orange TBs but
used to grow Desert Orange - (SDB Bennett Jones). It is not a deep orange 
but it is very reliable and does well here in the tundra where we have 6" of 
new snow and it is still coming down. I am afraid we will never see an iris 
again. :)
