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

Yes, Nell, I've seen it. It is indeed intriguing. Description --umm, hmmm,
well its kind of strange-looking in bud, very different-looking in bloom,
it's kind of uh, an Appaloosa iris, I guess, is the closest I can come. Sort
of a leopard-spot Appaloosa, with kind of muddy-colored spot markings on a
kind of cream-toned ground.
Anyone else want to take a stab at this?!
Anyway, I can assure you that the prize is well-deserved!
