Re: Song of Norway was Bloom Report -buds
From: "Mark, Maureen" <MARKM@tc.gc.ca>
Hi Donald,
Highly unlikely to be Song of Norway. The buds are greyish -- definitely
not pink. You might want to track down who donated Song of Norway so that
you can figure out what it could be. It's happened to us a few times with
respect to auction iris so we at least had a list to work with and narrow
down the identification when it bloomed. One year Karen (ruffled bitone
pink) turned out to be Heritage Lace (lacey yellow/white). Another year,
Sailor (blue plicata) turned out to be Pink Pele (pink with purple spot).
Hope you can identify yours.
