At the Fredericksburg Area Iris Societyâs harvest dinner on Saturday,
there were about 17 irises on display brought in by various members. As
soon as I entered the hall, one stalk stood out -- a large-flowered
red. When I saw its identity, I was amazed. Iâve grown this flower
myself and never saw it this fine. The falls of the top bloom are 7â
across. I asked Doug Chyz, who had brought it, if I could glean some
pollen. He said, âTake the stalkâ. So, here it is
(attached). Itâs not a glamour photo -- the falls have been
removed from a spent bloom and the top bloom is marred from travel, but I just
wanted to present it as an example of what this cultivar can look like.
Anyone guess its name? -- Griff
