Aaaargh! I am going to put the older English, French and Australasian Dykes
on the HIPS site but Summer has me too snowed under to even surface from
the weeds! (Something wrong there but I'm too addled from the sun to know
what).
Eclador is a nice, fairly well growing, medium to light yellow, bushy
bearded iris that could almost pass for W. R. Dykes minus the virus
disfiguration.
It was hybridized by Ferdinand Cayeux in 1932 and received the French Dykes
Medal in that year. (And we claim the 90s are rushed...)
