Considering its effect on women this iris would have been better named 
VALENTINE LACE. Its been a couple of years since Mike Sutton described 
its excellent quality as a progenitor. Hopefully on this hottest day of 
the year he can refresh us and maybe bring us up to date. Also maybe 
correct if I say anything that isn't true.

BL itself is one of the best examples of modern form in a SA. It also 
photographs better than any other of the "bests" i have seen.
The pleats of the shoulders of the falls are mirrored on the standards. 
The moderate ruffling is in balence with the lacing so its has a  
ruffled and laced look without the "savoy cabbage" look that overpowers 
the flounce. The "spooned flounce"? has an evenly serrated rim to match 
the falls and standards. Though not as dynamic as Patrick Orrs photo of 
the spoon lifting two-thirds of the way down the fall the fact that the 
lacing on the flounce begins at the same point as the lacing on the 
falls and standards shows that flounce/spoons are part of the fall ansd 
not a beard extension like a horn or hook. There are few SA who have 
modern form  and are consistent with horns and no flounces or flounced  
without an occasional horn.

I hope Mike has enough stock next year for a limited quantity sale 
because being able to exclude the horn variable or the flounce variable 
will make the statistics more credible
