Nell,
>>Was intrigued by the prize to Sterling Innerst's OMINOUS STRANGER for 'most
original color'. Has anyone seen this tall bearded, either in a garden or a
photo/slide? I'd love to have a
description.<<
OMINOUS STRANGER is a pale yellow ground plicata, with dusky purple markings.
It reminds me of storm clouds and the light slanting in from the west after
an evening thunderstorm. I think it would have been neat if Sterling had
figured out a storm name for it. I had a chance to buy for a song last year
at our auction, but had sworn off TBs, have been kicking myself ever since.
It is one of the most distinctive irises on the market.
