Nice! Love that bright blue streak. Odd combo with old gold but somehow it works.

I agree with 'mu that it's an odd color combination, but does work! it's striking. ;^)

And, 'mu, I like your color description of "old gold". I'd have called it something less attractive. lol!

I got seeds from it this year ... I had taken this first iris "Jolt" and pollinated it with pollen from this second iris "Matt McNames" and the cross produced the white looking flower in the third picture, and I took pollen from that flower and pollinated the "Three Strikes".

Beautiful, OC looks like he is going to get a good group of his tall Iris. Even in Winter they are still showing green.

COME ON WARM WEATHER.........................oc :D :D :D :D :D
