Randy, yuma man!
As badly as I hate the two above irises, I have actually entertained
the idea of crossing them! Now, after reading your post, I am so
glad I didn't.
The most interesting is Thornbird X

This one is a hoot, too.
Actually, the picture you posted is not so bad. I had expected worse
like when I crossed Thornbird with Art School Angel, a white spacer,
and got all of the double uglies. Crossing T-bird to darker things
should cover up the flaws.
Your post was quite entertaining.
