Which do you like better?

11 years ago

Iris lovers and collectors:
Which do you like better, Planned Treasure or Photogenic?
They look like they're related, but I haven't looked into that yet. I'd like someone's opinion who has at least seen both of them.
I don't have room for every iris in the world, wish I did, but if there are two that are REALLY similar, I pick one.

Irises . . . sigh.

Joe Ghio's 'Photogenic' is less tailored with ruffled horizontal falls and the standards have ribs of pronounced lavender that extend outwards. Standards are also vy. ruffled and fluted. Won an AM in 2011. A very frothy iris with rich color that lightens nicely with age.

'Planned Treasure' doesn't have nearly the ruffles. Its falls are pale and rimmed lavender which bleeds into the falls a bit with age. Standards are a light peachy pink without contrasting colored ribs. It won an HM in 1988. More demure.

2 vey different iris to me. Older form vs. newer form. Light color vs. saturated color. Totally depends upon your taste.
