I posted some photos of luminatas on the World of Irises blog today. Here's the link if you would like to see them- some are by the fabulous Margie Valenzuela.

For years I carried New Leaf and nothing happened and I too did have a great picture of it. I had tried many times to cross with it and keep it but nothing.
I think New Leaf likes Southern California heat. The falls can flare too much for my taste, but only in certain weather conditions. Most of the time it behaves very well here.
Oh Dear, Mary Ann, I have had new leaf for years, and when I moved it this summer, I had lots of extras of it that I just threw out. I just re-planted one or two rhizomes, so it will be a while before I have more. Wish I had known, I would have sent you some with the others. The falls do flare out a bit, but it's really a pretty one. Another one I like a lot that is a luminata that has the falls flaring a bit is Flights of Fancy, one by Keppel
New Leaf, Ghio and Flights of Fancy, Keppel
Then there's Moonlit Water, another Keppel Luminata that I like a lot
I like *Flight of Fancy* too -- and am wondering if I have that one. I added a lot of new Irises this year (not intending to, if you'll remember) and don't have a handle on all of them yet.
I did add *Daughter of Stars* from Dee's PNW sale this Fall. I'm so excited to see it bloom. Your picture makes it look a lot like *Clarence* -- I hope it's different! My picture of Clarence isn't a good one.

Every day is a second chance. Every day is precious time.
OK -- I don't know where I got *Daughter of Stars* from, from your post Tom. Gotta lot on my mind...............
What I should have said -- and meant to say -- is that I did get *Moonlit Water* this year. And that's what I was worrying about looking too much like *Clarence*.
OK -- now that I've got THAT straightened out......................

Sorry been ill and not as much, New Leaf never sold. Picture great and different ones posted. I loved it but for some reason could not get to use in hybridizing. Did not want to take either way.
