On her latest contribution to IRISES, the Bulletin of The American Iris Society, Australian hybridizer Heather Pryor writes candidly about her work on creating the ultimate orange Louisiana Iris (LA). She calls her work, "Heather’s ‘orange brick
road of hybridizing endeavors’."

Her dedication to detail is evident and admirable, as is her use of descriptive language: "It has similar coloration
to a zucchini or pumpkin flower; not quite yellow and not quite orange."

After reading this wonderful article and looking at Heather Pryor's irises, I'm fully motivated to admonish my creative inner Self and find a way to Iris Heaven. Hope you will too.
