Plicatas, Plicatas! Got to love 'em!

The snowdrifts are finally melting in my yard & I'm spring dreaming. I'm looking forward to my bearded iris with the tiny dots of plicata color covering their blooms.

Brazen Beauty struts her stuff...

Sneezy is a beautiful thing too with plicata color all over the place.

Fiction is a Tall Bearded iris with an unusual lavender plicata edging the falls.

You can just see the deep red plicata dots "pop" against the white on the falls of "Stop the Music".

Stepping Out has a plicata so rich that it makes a stunning edge to the falls & standards.

Okay, now it's my turn: I have an educated guess, but, what's a plicata?

Oh Wanda, I really like that first one, Brazen Beauty.

Hang on! Stop the Music is awesome. Very lovely "red"

Not a big Plicata person but there are some I really Like
Dinky Circus is probably the one I like the most

Orinoco Flow with its incomplete plicata markings is also a favorite and also a favorite parent

Wanda...."Stepping Out" and "Brazen Beauty" are really pretty.....I've definitely added those two to my "wish list" that is getting longer every day as all of you show off your gorgeous blooms.

Avmoran - Orinoco Flow is also a VERY pretty flower. I think I really lean toward all of the purples and pinks for my favorites.

Yes, Queen in Calico is a beauty...

I particularly enjoy the dotted plicatas like MTB, Merit

... and MTB, Concord Sprite

Gracefully subtle plics like English Cottage

Well, when I started looking thru my iris photo files, I discovered quite a few more plicatas scattered thru my beds.... I love the sprinkling of dots that makes up the edging .
Indian Sandstone TB

Laurie--wonderfully subtle plicatas!

Jesse's Song TB is anything but subtle...

... or vivid plics like IB, Starwoman

Potluck is a brilliant intermediate that always draws oohs.

How about a Border Bearded? Chickasaw Sue died out to nothing in my garden, but came back last spring!

Or this lovely 1931 historic tall Bearded iris: Tiffany
