Rose Colored Glasses (McAllister, 1995)

An excellent example of pleasant surprises in the seedling patch, this pastel ground and intricate dotting and veining came from a line of pinkish-violets.

Its veining looks near-black to the naked eye, reddish-violet through UV-filtered glasses, and near-red through some sunglasses – as we learned in a three-way garden debate about its color. Even iris look different when you view the world through "Rose Colored Glasses".

A fully fertile halfbred from Heart Stealer X Whither Thou Goest, this has even produced quarterbreds with aril-like dotting and veining. Some of its seedlings show plicata-like patterns, some have heavy veining and nice signals. 

For show aficionados, its ASI code is OGB.
