 UNCLAIMED TREASURE (McAllister, 1990) OGB Intense iridescent violet standards. Falls are a blend of bright copper, brown, and violet-purple with an overall metallic sheen. Welcome Reward X Esther the Queen. Sets pods with exceptional ease. I've used it in breeding for deep colorfast colors, and consider it to be promising as carrier for pink. It has produced some striking
quarterbreds. Because our seedlings were moved back and forth between our gardens so much, sometimes Gus and I had a hard time keeping track of whose they were. This name came from a brainstorming session for one of those questionable ones. It was clearly a treasure, but we knew it would take a detailed check of the records to know which of us should claim it.

 VISITOR'S CHOICE (McAllister, 1996). OGB Very pale pinkish ivory standards have a yellow midrib and faint yellow veining. Soft yellow style arms match the soft yellow ground of the falls, but the falls are so heavily washed with solid rust that the ground shows only at the edge and around the beard where the pigment separates into brown-on-yellow stippling. Small brown signal at tip of mustard brown beard. A fully fertile ½-bred from Red Earth X Whirlwind Romance, but I've given away too many of its seeds to properly assess its overall worth as a parent. One of the most popular with garden visitors for the past few years, prompting a lot of name suggestions – none of which quite "fit". |
 VIVACIOUS VI (McAllister, 1993) OGB-. White standards have a pinkish flush along the midrib. Reddish-violet falls have rust-on-white veins flanking a yellow-gold beard. Sostenique X Tribe of Judah. A classic quarterbred that has produced seedlings with Joint Venture. An iris named for Vi (short for Violet) would obviously have to have violet tones. It's form is flaring – think "V for Vivacious". |

 VIVID IMAGINATION (McAllister, R. 1996) OGB- In TBs the
"bicolor-plicata" pattern has solid standards and plicata falls. This combines that TB pattern with arilbred form and adds a small signal. The standards are of the softest pinkish-ivory, white-ground falls have
plicata-like lilac markings and lilac veins flanking the beard, and a linear violet signal. It does take a "Vivid Imagination" to see the pink, if you're accustomed to the bright tangerine pinks of modern
TBs, but it's there. Asha Michelle X Boaz.
