Re: HYB: Good Blue SA TB

Bill:

I got Spouting Horn direct from the source.  It is a lovely garden iris, lots
of buds (too close to the stalk as the branches are almost non-existent), but
it is NOT a space-ager.  it was named after one of those "spouts" at the
waterline by waves and eroded rock formations.  If yours is horned, it may be
mislabeled.

I like the sound of your blue umbrata though.  Sounds like it needs to be
crossed with Louisa's Song.

  Another impressive blue SA here this year was SPOUTING HORN. From a distance
  it was undistinguishable from HONK YOUR HORN.

  It was a bit shorter than HYH and was not quite as impressive from a bud
  count or branching standpoint. It produced more stalks. the haft marks were
not as
  evident if they existed at all. Bloom was impressive. Horn production was
  consistent. It has less "noise" in the claw and around the beard area than
HYH.

  SH was produced from (Dusky Challenger x Last Emperor) x Honky Tonk Blues
  HYH parentage is (Lookout Point x Honky Tonk Blues)

  Lookout Point was (Frances Gaulter x Sky Hooks)
  Last Emperor pedigree stuff was too murky for the lazy.

  Smiles,
  Bill Burleson
