Hello all,
though having priority study photo of this seedling
I felt shy to suggest the name, but when some did it I am trying
too.
Though color on the photo and in nature are some
different, but looking once and once more to the scanned large *tif file, I
found that the color and it nuances are very similar to those of white amber.
From other hand when checked up the Iris check lists which I have, I found many
names including "Amber", but not "White Amber". Maybe for people living in
countries where amber is not found the term white amber is not well known. As
living in amber country I know very well differences of transparent and white
amber. Former of course is wonderful like fresh honey, but when you see in it
mosquito, spider or other small insect stiffed in death before
million years it do excite. Next is not transparent and is of different shades
from white to white cream, cream and blending at last to transparent form. All
those nuances of white amber I see in this flower, but parents of this baby are
Jan and Marty and only they can choose the best name.
