Re: Re: S-95-57-2

Hi Lana, we do appreciate the help.  We want to introduce it next year, and 
finding names is one of the hardest parts of introducing irises.  So many of 
the good ones and not so good ones have been taken.  Creme Brulee is on 
target with the way we think about this series of seedlings - sweet desserty 
things like custard and flan.  Unfortunately the name was taken for a TB in 
the '80s.  On the other hand I had a creme brulee in a nice restaurant in 
Newton last year with an appropriate name for this iris.  I'll run it by Jan 
to see how she likes it and then Keith to see if it's been taken.  I think 
you'll like it too but I hope you don't mind if I keep it to myself until 
it's registered.  

Dawn Explosion is nice, but the flower is small and doesn't fit the name in 
my mind.  

It comes from a cross of unnamed siblings of Sarah Tiffney and Dawn Waltz.  
We've been extremely excited by the results of crossing these two families 
together.  Attractive, smallish flowers with a new color combinations - some 
very smooth and some very speckled - have come out of these crosses.  The 
forms are simple without a lot of fussy ruffling, though I'm sure that will 
come with time.  It made me very happy to watch them all open for the first 
time, and very sad to throw away their siblings when the time came.  They 
were almost all attractive and different.  We'll be introducing three or four 
of them in the coming years.  

Thanks again for the help.  Marty
