Hi Diana,
I only have slides, not photos. And the flatbed scanner I bought almost two
years ago is still in its box because I don't know what to do with it. I can
give you descriptions though.
FAIRY FINGERS (Willott 91) Narrow white standards firmly incurved; white
falls quite small with full yellow signals; prominent white styles; very
dainty. Sdlg. W 85-7: I. sanguinea 'Snow Queen" X unknown) from SIGNA seed.
18 in. HM 96. This SIGNA seed was donated by Jean Witt and we have talked
to her about this very unusual looking iris. She said she has an I.
sanguinea from Japan that looks similar and thinks that might have been the
pollen parent. If you ever saw FAIRY FINGERS, you would never mistake it for
anything else. It is a little hard to get established, but once it is, it
really goes to town.
MYSTIC LAGOON (Willott 91) Broad, lightly ruffled, medium violet-blue self
with deeper hafts; inconspicuous signals; violet-blue styles with blue
midrib. Sdlg. W 86-87: (Parentage unknown). 24 in. EC 87 & 90, HC 87 This
was a volunteer seedling and we never figured out what the parents could have
been. We have several seedlings from it that we are considering and have
guested at the 2001 AIS convention. Tom Abrego told me it doesn't grow well
in Oregon, but it is very sturdy here and a faithful bloomer.
