Re: "Park Spark" Parentage

Believe it or not, but I still don't have a copy of the SIGNA checklist unpacked but I am guessing that it is being misread. The annotation following a cross is supposed to be in brackets and not parentheses and does not refer to the last plant listed in the cross but is a restatement of the cross itself giving the parents by their botanical names. This was done so that one could quickly see which species are involved so one does not have to look up each cultivar name to discover its botanical identity.--Bob Pries.

According to the S.I.G.N.A Checklist of Iris:

'Anticosti Discovery' (I. versicolor AC-12, collected on Anticosti Island, Quebec) X 'Southern Wanderer' (Iris veriscolor x Iris virginica var. virginica)

Hi all,
I recently obtained a plant of "Park Spark", an interspecies cross
by Tony Huber. It grew incredibly this year with large foliage that was
reminiscent of I. pseudacorus. I was just wondering if someone could
tell me the parentage of this interspecies cross. I was under the
impression it was a versicolor X ensata cross.
