ARTISTIC TOUCH

Leonard & Kathryn Jedlicka, 2008, TB, 29”, M

 This pattern showed up unexpectedly, with quite different parentage than similar ones.  Standards are light peach, veined darker, with peach-yellow edges and yellow styles. Centers of the falls are white, striped by violet veins which gradually fade away, and there are yellow edges and hafts.  Beards are tangerine, sometimes with short fuzzy yellow horns.  The ruffled SA has 7-8 buds and fat stalks.  Branching is a little short but OK.

BURST OF GLORY

Leonard & Kathryn Jedlicka, 2008, TB, 40”, E-M

      The best of our Starship Enterprise seedlings, this ruffled flower has good branching and 7-8 buds, 3 open at once for dramatic effect.  Standards are bright vibrant yellow and styles are yellow with lined and serrated crests.  A large vibrant yellow sunburst extends over halfway down the falls into the deep maroon-red bottom and sides, and the hafts are striped red and yellow.  The undersides of the falls are yellowish.  Beards start as dark orange in the throat, then progress thru orange to yellow at the tip.  A slight sweet smell rounds out the package.

HI THERE GORGEOUS

Leonard & Kathryn Jedlicka, 2008, TB, 31”, M

 We were delighted to discover this plicata with its pure white ruffle outside the dots and dashes, and it’s a favorite of garden visitors.  Standards are white with occasional small purple splashes, and style arms are white with a trace of lavender and serrated crests.  Falls have a white ground.  A ¼” neat white border surrounds dense purple plicata dotting which thins out as it nears the beard.  Extra dotting forms a center line down the falls, and there are purple veins on the hafts.  Beards are orange in the throat, then yellow, then white on the tips.  This slightly sweet-scented flower has good ruffles, diamond dusting, 7 buds, and fair branching.

LIGHT UP MY LIFE

Leonard & Kathryn Jedlicka, 2008, TB, 31”, E-M

      This joyful flower is our most colorful yellow-ground luminata, well-ruffled and with 6 buds.  Standards have a yellow ground suffused with light red-violet and sport a wide yellow border.  Style arms are yellow with serrated crests.  The very center of the fall has white veins and medium purple luminata markings; remainder of petal has yellow ground under medium red-purple luminata wash except for ¼” yellow serrated border and pure yellow beside the beards.  Orange colors the back of the beard, then yellow, and the tip is white.  Branching is OK.

BELIEVE IN MAGIC

Leonard & Kathryn Jedlicka, 2008, TB, 32”, M

      The bright glowing colors of this beauty stand out from a long distance to give it a showy “wow” effect!  Standards’ centers are rosy pink blending to bright medium rose-violet edges.  Style arms are peachy pink.  Centers of falls are light rosy pink blending to bright medium rose-violet edges and an iridescent peach wash, especially on the hafts, adds a peach glow.  The fat caterpillar beards are bright tangerine with short fuzzy lighter tangerine horns.  This beautiful SA is well-ruffled and produces 8-9 buds but is rather narrow in the falls.  Branching is somewhat short but OK.

CHANTILLY BRIDE

Leonard & Kathryn Jedlicka, 2008, TB, 32”, M

     The super-ruffles and serrated lace edges on this frothy white are very satisfying, and we even call it ripple-pleated!  Standards are opaque white, with a touch of yellow at the very base of the petals.  Style arms are white with yellow on the side and serrated crests.  Round overlapping falls are opaque white also, with a bit of yellow at the petal bases.  Beards are yellow deep in the throat but the rest is snowy white.  Vigorous healthy plants produce nicely-branched stalks with 6 buds.

GOOD AS GOLD

Leonard & Kathryn Jedlicka, 2008, TB, 28-29”, M

      This rich glowing color does not fade in the sun and the bloom stays beautiful with its nice ruffles, lightly serrated edges, and the good form inherited from its red mother.  It is a vibrant deep yellow-gold with red markings deep inside the throat of both the standards and the round falls.  Styles are also deep yellow-gold with serrated crests.  Beards start as orange in the back, then go yellow-orange, and end up tipped bright yellow.  There are 9 buds, good stalks and branching, and narrow fan leaves.

MY TRUE LOVE

Leonard & Kathryn Jedlicka, 2008, TB, 30”, M

      The saturated colors of this showy diamond-dusted SA really grab your attention.  Standards are a rich medium pink with slightly purple-infused center ribs and serrated edges.  The style arms are beautiful pink with purple trim, a tangerine glow, and serrated crests.  Flaring falls are an intense true purple with a narrow pink-lavender border.  The hafts are striped with medium red-purple.  More zing comes from bright tangerine beards and fuzzy lavender upward horns.  Healthy plants have OK branching and 8 buds per stalk.

SING IN HARMONY

Leonard & Kathryn Jedlicka, 2008, TB, 33”, E-M

      The focus of this SA is the long pointed bright tangerine “tongue” effect.  The caterpillar beards start deep in the throat and are extended by fuzzy tangerine horns.  Standards are medium peachy pink and nicely ruffled with a trace of lace.  Style arms are peachy pink, too, with serrated crests.  A large area of the falls around the beards is medium peachy pink, veined darker, and is framed by a medium purple infusion blending lighter to the pinkish outside edges.  9 buds and good branching complete the picture.

WANDA REZAC - $14.00

Leonard & Kathryn Jedlicka, 2007, TB, 32", M, (9 buds)

        This color-saturated gem is named after our good friend who hooked us on iris.  The standards and style arms are bright yellow, and the beard is a bright orange-tangerine.  The falls are whitish below the beards, striped yellow on the hafts and sides, with a broad border of reddish purple across the bottom then tapering narrower on the sides.  It’s a fast increaser with 9 buds, lightly serrated and ruffled.  It also has great branching on the sturdy stalks.

FANTASTREAKS - $14.00

Leonard & Kathryn Jedlicka, 2007, TB, 33”, M

The variegated foliage is the highlight of this plant, as the fans are streaked with light yellow.  It’s a good mother for breeding the variegation trait.  We’ve had 33% of Fantastreaks’ seedlings germinate variegated like it did.  ( When hybridizing make sure to pollinate a striped bud and stalk.)  The ruffled and lightly laced flowers are all white with semiflaring falls, 7 buds, and OK  branching.  The white beard has a little yellow deep in the throat.

RADIANT CATERPILLAR - $14.00

Leonard & Kathryn  Jedlicka, 2007, TB, 40”, M

The focus of this flower is the bright orange caterpillar beards sitting fat and sassy on the falls.  The standards and style arms are bright yellow and the falls are red with yellow-striped hafts.  There’s a large yellow area below the beard with rays extending deep into the red.  The stalks are impressive and the branching is nice, plus it’s a good increaser.  The petals are serrated and lightly ruffled, with 6 buds being the norm.

THREE RING CIRCUS - $14.00

Leonard & Kathryn Jedlicka, 2007, TB, 32", M

     There’s a lot going on with this colorful bloom.  The standards are white with bright yellow centers and yellow veining.  Style arms are brilliant yellow also, and the beard is yellow-orange.  The falls have white below the beard, yellow-striped hafts and sides, and are ringed with reddish purple and a white wire rim.  Serrated and lightly ruffled, it’s a fast increaser with 6 buds, but it has poor branching like its mother.

GLOWING RED LANTERN - $14.00

Leonard & Kathryn Jedlicka, 2007, TB, 34”, M

     This lightly ruffled flower is very cheery in your garden and is a fast  increaser.  The standards and style arms are bright yellow.  The falls are red with yellow stripes radiating around the bright orange beard.  It has 7 buds but the branching is not up to par.

GLITTER REPINK - $14.00

Leonard & Kathryn Jedlicka, 2007, TB, 31”, E, RE in zone 4b

    This vigorous glittery pink was the best rebloomer on our place in 2006.  We had over 30 rebloom stalks from it in two months. This continuous fall flowering right up to hard frost is very unusual in our cold zone.  The standards and style arms are light pink, and the beards are a deep pink-coral.  The falls are medium pink, lightly veined raspberry.  The lightly ruffled blossoms are covered with iridescent glitter.  There are 7 buds, and it increases very quickly to provide lots of future rebloom.

PLUM POODLE - $14.00

Leonard & Kathryn Jedlicka, 2007, TB, 30”, E-M, RE in zone 4b

The super-ruffled standards on this deep purple remind us of curls on a poodle.  Semi-flaring falls of purple are ruffled and covered with black velvet plush.  The beard is old gold in the throat but the outer half is deep purple.  Style arms are purple and white.  You can expect up to 8 medium-sized flowers on each stem, the branching is OK but could be better.  It appears that better soil makes for curlier standards.
