SCATTERSHOT DOTS (Paul Black 26)
TB Midseason-Late 30” (76cm)
Pronounced sweet fragrance Here’s another in the limited realm of the strange broken color plicatas. Each flower is patterned differently. Typically marked standards have light buttercream ground with dark charcoal purple heavily plicata sanded center and dark charcoal purple rib and wide band. White falls have light yellow variably sized hafts and irregular broken color segments of wine to purple dotting and sanding and narrow dark wine plic band. Sdlg.

SING SOFTLY (Thomas Johnson ’26)
SDB Midseason-late 13” (33cm)
Sweet fragrance Light pink standards over white falls with a heavy stitched and dotted red violet haft and wide dotted edge. Coral orange beards add a bit more interest. Really a very distinctive and different plicata. Sdlg. TP289A: Catch My Eye X Tula

MOST UNUSUAL (Thomas Johnson ’26)
TB Early-midseason 39” (99cm)
Slight musky fragrance Medium lemon-yellow standards. Falls are very complex. There is a large light lemon-yellow central sunburst that then transitions into a blue violet brindled wash and finally a wide lavender band. The whole effect is stunning! Flowers are very large and on well branched and budded stems. You won’t walk by this one. Sdlg. TN223YY: Dare To Be Different sib X Only Imagine sib

SUNSHINE HEART (Thomas Johnson ’26)
TB Midseason-late 37” (94cm)
Slight fragrance Brilliant golden yellow standards rise above falls with a golden yellow center and a reddish violet overlay wash below the beard. The overlay becomes a deep reddish violet band, with a lighter rosy pink narrow edge. Lots going on in this flower for sure. Patterned iris like this one are so fun, in that the longer you look at them the more complex you realize the color scheme is. Sunshine Heart is an easy grower, and flowers heavily on nicely branched and budded stems. Sdlg. TN115YY: Diamond Heart X Dare To Be Different
