     This colorful space-age charmer will dance her way into your heart.  Standards are ruffled medium yellow with yellow diamond dust and serrated edges.  Inside the top petals are two-tone yellow style arms amid brown leopard spots.  The beards are pure orange in the throat with consistent deep yellow fuzzy tapered appendages, sometimes tipped with white hairs.  Flaring falls have a wide white area in the center, blending out into lavender-purple with a 1/4” reddish-brown ruffled and serrated border.  Silver diamond dust brightens the yellow hafts which have red-brown stripes.  7 buds have thick substance with good branching and a sweet mild scent.

      This speckled surprise took over two years to germinate, so we had to rescue it from a throwaway dirt pile and lost track of the original cross.  The ruffled standards are medium peach with a lavender infusion, especially along the ribs.  Styles are peach-orange with a touch of lavender, and beards are orange-tangerine.  Roundish flaring falls are ruffled and fluted, loaded with reddish-purple sprinkles against a white background.  Hafts have a peach ground, and a violet-purple line bisects the lightly diamond dusted falls.  The scent is medium sweet-tart.  Flowers have very good substance with 7-8 buds per stalk and nice branching.

     There's lots of super-ruffles and fluted serrated lace on this breathtakingly beautiful luminata.  Standards are lavender-pink with a yellow-white border and center veins are slightly infused purple.  Lacy lavender-pink style arms have light yellow centers and edges.  Beards are bright yellow in the throat, pale yellow in the middle and then white at the end.  Semi-flaring falls are white around the beards, then have velvety dark purple luminata markings with white-lavender veins, yellow hafts, and a narrow lacy white border.  There is a white stripe from the beard to the center of the fall.  Floriferous plants set 7 sweet-scented buds with great substance on many stalks.

      The 3-dimentional velvet is what makes this red special.  The color holds well and doesn’t fade.  Standards are brownish-red with some black velvet, but the broad roundish falls have even more and they look like textured tapestry cloth with the extra shades and sheens.  The falls almost touch at the shoulders and have whitish stripes on the hafts.  Style arms are red-brown and yellow, and the beards have gold tips on red base hairs.  7-8 black buds with nice ruffles, thick substance and a slight sweet smell form on good branches with many stalks.

      Soft pastel colors make this tall treat a sweet delight.  The nicely ruffled standards are pale pinkish-peach with narrow lacy yellow edges, and style arms are orange with yellow lace.  Falls are white in the center but mostly pineapple-yellow with peachy haft marks.  Beards are bright tangerine red-orange with yellow tip ends.  Healthy sturdy stalks set 8 buds on good branching.

      This space-age chameleon can look very different at varying light levels.  It has standards of light violet with a pinkish-purple infusion and frilled light violet lace on ruffled and fluted edges.  Very flaring disk-like round falls are light violet-blue with a pearly white-lavender cast that catches the light amid heavily serrated violet-blue lace.  Styles are lavender and bright yellow, and there are yellow stripes on the hafts.  Beards are orange-yellow with consistent ½” fuzzy lavender horns that angle upwards.  6 buds are on so-so branching.

     OK, this one takes explaining.  It’s twilight on Christmas Eve, and out of a blinding blizzard emerges . . . Rudolph [the Reindeer]’s Red Nose shining to light the way.  The light lavender-blue blush on the falls fades away in one day, and behold, you have a snowy white iris with a very bright tangerine-red beard.  The ruffled and laced standards are pure white from the start, but the flaring falls soon lose their opening twilight glow and turn white with tan haft veins.  Diamond dust, 7 buds, a mild sweet smell, and nice branching round out the attributes.

      This black velvet beauty has good form as well as great color.  The standards are actually a purple-black, but the soft velvet cuts the gloss and makes them look even blacker.  The semi-flaring falls have not a shred of off-color, as black as any flower can be, and the heavy plush velvet shows off their thick substance and the ruffling.  Beards and style arms are deep purple-black, and the scent is sweetly grape-ish.  The healthy plants have 7 buds, good branching, and sturdy stalks.

 Hello Darkness  X  Before The Storm

      It’s an eye-catcher that calls you from across the garden with its diamond-dusted day-glo orange ruffles and intense tangerine beards.  The falls are very flaring, with a flash of whitish-yellow below the beard, and a subtle pure yellow stripe goes down the length of the petals.  The yellow grades sideways into bright medium orange ruffled and serrated edges, with a pinkish glow on the shoulders and tangerine-orange stripes on the hafts.  The floriferous plant is outstanding too, with 7 sweetly scented buds of thick substance, good branching, and strong stalks that stand up to wind.

      Blushing ballerinas in their neat little tutus will perform beautifully in your garden.  Standards are pink heavily ruffled with wide white edges.  Lacy style arms are pink and lavender and white with lavender streaks and purple dots inside the standards.  Roundish semi-flaring falls form medium purple skirts with wide ruffled and pleated light lavender borders.  White ground on shoulders shows off purple veins radiating beside the beard, and a subtle violet-blue stripe bisects the falls.   Dark tangerine-orange beards are long and bright.  There are 7 buds, heavy substance, nice branching, and stalks are not bothered by any wind.

     Here is a ruffled luminata that could serve as a rodeo costume.  The tops are buckskin [beige-tan] with a faint purplish cast, purple veins on the ribs, and narrow frilled bright yellow rims.  Style arms are yellow and white-yellow.  Oval semi-flaring falls are white beside the beards, which are bright orange in the throat, then deep yellow, and light yellow-white on the end.  The rest of the falls are dark reddish-purple with white luminata veins radiating from the center and feminine lacy bright yellow rims.  Hafts have some yellow ground also.  The 8 buds are mostly double-socketed, with good substance, good branching, and a mild sweet smell.

Jeda 4-4M3 [Mind Reader  x  Flights of Fancy]  X  Light Up My Life

Leonard & Kathryn Jedlicka, 2012, TB, 34”, EM

      Here’s a ruffled and fluted luminata named after one of our granddaughters because it looks like a pastel calico pattern.  The standards are pale yellow washed with light pinkish-lavender, and style arms are light yellow and white-yellow.  Round semi-flaring falls have a white ground infused with light purple and pinkish-purple speckled lines radiating outward from the yellow hafts to the pale yellow serrated lace.  Beards start as orange-yellow in the throat, then become yellow and end up with a tip of white.  A stripe of whitish-yellow extends halfway down the falls.  The plant is very floriferous with 7 buds and good branching, but some buds toe in.
