That's most interesting about the pressed flowers! I think that would be a neat idea to try. I wonder what kind of paper they use? Rice paper?

Well, Colin, I thought I would delight you with one of my Sazanami blooms that turned out to be a hige/bearded bloom. This is a large I. nil flower. Unfortunately, the Sazanami seems to be pretty sterile, otherwise I would be self/hand-pollinating this bloom. I did try, but they usually don't take. I use the white NOID bloom pollen, to no avail. :-( But wouldn't it be neat to get a cultivar of large bearded I. nil blooms like this one?! Maybe someday ...
