Actually, while I was sick I didn't read much on here at all, just a few "regular" ones.  Couldn't concentrate well enough for anything more unfortunately.  Caught up on a lot more the last couple of days, plus posted pics etc that I've taken over the last few weeks.  Back to work tomorrow morning though.  :o

A seedling giving its premier blossom.  I've had it in the garden in a bad spot for 5 years and, due to its very robust growth habit, I moved it to sun and this was the result.  Very tall, not for the rockery in the usual sense, 4 branches and 9 buds , probably more when established.  Very strong stem and the flowers are 18cm across.  As I had the parents listed as Silicon Prairie x Autumn Circus, I am a bit surprised by the horns. The colouring may not be every gardeners taste, but I find them very fascinating.  Of course, it is my child and I am prejudiced. ;D ;D ;D

I'd be pleased as punch to have that in my garden.  Love the colour, and the almost-spoons on it.  Then again, I just love space-ager irises.  ;D

Here is 'Capricious Candles', an American hybrid I imported last year.  Wonderful colour and elegant shape.  Again, a TB and too tall for most rockeries.  Another space-ager for you Paul. 8)

Chris,

That isn't 'Pirate's Quest', unless there was a far older thing under that name.  Pirate's Quest from memory is a much moderner form (say maybe 15 to 20 years old I would guess) which is pure gold with a small white flash below the falls.  I used to have it, which is why I know it.  It is a much more flared flower, without the elongated teardrop fall of the older varieties like in your picture.  I unfortunately don't have a name to give you for yours either.  Sorry.

Jamie,

Very nice colouration to that one.  Is it one from Sutton breeding stables?  I do so wish we could bring them in easily here, as there are a few of the Sutton irises that I would love to have (Thor's Lightning Bolt' for example, deep purple black with white beards!  :o)

Paul,

Capricious Candles is from Leroy Meininger.  I believe most of his intros are offered by Snowpeak Iris.

Hi Paul,
You are quite right, not 'Pirate's Quest', not sure yet if this is my mix up or a mix up when purchased.
Looks like it might be 'Love the Sun', Blythe 1983.

The colouring of your "baby" Jamie, is very pretty and with so many branches and buds, is bound to be a good garden plant with strong visual impact. Maybe a good seedling to use as a parent.

In the words of that great horticulturalist, Eminem;

'Would the real 'Pirate's Quest' please stand up, please stand up.

All you other yellow TBI's are just immitating,
So would the real 'Pirates Quest' please stand up!

Mmmmm, white man gardening rap, whatever next!
