Re: HYB:Lace

Lacy hybridizers?

Possibly Tasco (Superstition), or introductions by the late Ben Hager (out of
Cooleys).
Of course, many introductions from my three favorites Ghio (Bay View), Keppel
(Keppel), and Blyth (Tempo Two) are lacy.  My absolute favorite iris is still
Blyth's "Louisa's Song", with extraordinary ruffles, lace, and substance.

  Yesterday, I had a surprise visit from an iris friend that I'd not seen
  since long before my move.  She was excited to see my collection and what
I'd
  been doing with the hybridizing.

  She looked around my rebloom seedling beds . . . pulled a long face and
said
  . . . but they don't have "lace!"

  She's never been a rebloom enthusiast so I wasn't overly surprised.   But .
.
  .
  who is breeding specifically for lace these days?  I don't know whose  work
  to recommend, specifically.
