BOLD SENTRY (Peterson, 83) - A big, bold flower it is, too! Nice contrast
between smooth, light lavender-blue standards and tan falls with a rich
crimson overlay. Vigorous, problem free grower here (of course, this is its
native ground).
ONLOOKER (Hager, 85) - Rick Tasco has already said it all about this one,
and all I can add is a hearty endorsement of everything he wrote.
ORA J. SEALE (E. Hunt by Mc Allister, 83) - Pastel standards over blended
falls in luscious sunset tones. Kind of hard to describe, but it sure is
purty!
TURKISH HEART (Shockey, 90) - Near yellow amoena with a boldly marked
signal of dark, chocolate brown (the color of Hershey's semisweet). This
one blooms very late for an AB here - in the middle of the TB season.
WHITHER THOU GOEST (E. Hunt by McAllister, 85) - Fascinating cafe-au-lait
color with an infusion or undertone of rose plus a maroon signal zone.
Good, dependable grower and bloomer.
Each of the iris listed above offers something you will never find in a
straight TB.
