Re: Parthenon
From: Mike Lowe <mlowe@worldiris.com>
Edmundas,
Does your Parthenon fade to white? The first Parthenon that you sent
(CMYK) was a beautiful, light, china blue. Parthenon2 (RGB) was a bit
washed out compared to the first. I have never seen this iris
growing, Anne has a faint memory of seeing it but too long ago to
remember color.
The Schreiner's 1934 catalog has it in their '1934 Introductions'
section and has this description:
"PARTHENON (Connell 1933) This iris is a "warm White" made so by the
palest gold tints throughout, by pale yellow style arms, venation,
and beard. It is very tall and widely branched. The standards are
highly arched, falls are large, ovate and flaring. This is a hardy
and exceptionally fine garden iris which will be equally as effective
on the show table......................$10.00"
1939 Check List -- PARTHENON. TB-M-WW (Con. 1934);....
Cheers,
Mike
