To Amy,
The complete registration information on Thumkin is as follows:
(Glenn Corlew R. 1995) Sdlg. 1325-1A. BB, 17" (43 cm), M (Mid-season).
Standards medium violet, deeper base and midrib; style arms violet; Falls pale
to medium violet; blended yellow in upper area, shading to brown at hafts;
beards violet. Abracadabra X Olympiad. Introduced by Cooley's Garden 1996.
Since this is a cross of a standard dwarf by a tall bearded iris, it would
normally be an intermediate. However, the most visible difference between IBs
and BBs is the time of bloom. Apparently, this iris blooms later than most
intermediates and was, therefore, registered as a BB. I wonder if the bloom
time was observed somewhere besides California, where irises bloom at strange
times. Also, 17 inches is just barely tall enough to be considered either an
IB or BB. I haven't seen it yet, but it sounds interesting.
