I must say that, although I enjoyed almost all of my irises last year, the
historics were among my favourites, and I would like to be one of the first
O/S members of the TB dogs society :-)
While I'm sure Christie has not difficulty in painting irises with ruffles,
I agree with her that it is the tailored ones that look most lovely in a
painting. Castlemaine is home to many artists, including my other half, and
irises are popular subjects, especially in water colour paintings. The
ruffled irises just look to 'tizzy' in paintings.
My favourite by far, for substance, size colour etc, was one I sent a photo
to iris-photos of last season, under the name of JANE PHILIPS (which it is
clearly not)
I might try some crosses with it this year, perhaps to SILVERADO or HT
BLUES?
Cheers, Jan, in AUS
