HIGH COMMENDATION, RHS 1916
Lowell Baumunk/Holly Lane/Iris Country/O'Brien/Winterberry 1998
Cornell Bulletin 112 says: "Color effect a flecked yellow, velvety pansy
violet veined bicolor. Standards amber yellow flecked raisin purple.
Falls velvety blackish red-purple, veined violet-purple on lavender
outer haft and reticulated red-brown on bronzed base. The blade is
bordered light yellow. The plant is a vigorous grower, with stiff,
medium, deep green foliage, tinged at the base. The spathe valves are
green and slightly keeled. The flowers are borne on widely-branched
stalks, and the segments of the blooms expand so that the general effect
is that of a short, open bloom with cup-formed standards. Under some
circumstances, Fall blooms appear. Their bright colors make interesting
masses in the border. Rating 79."--Cornell Bulletin 112. Very popular.
Purple-based foliage. Old diploid w/yellow standards over rose-purple
falls. Seen at the Emerald Valley iris Garden of Eugene and Dorothy
Kalkwarf, Lincoln, NE area. ELLIE WEIKLE,1997: Standards yellow
frequently splashed purple; falls raisin purple margined yellow. ROGER
NELSON,1997/98: A most distinctive "old-timer" w/somewhat open standards
of primrose yellow and some violet lines near the base, and yellow-
bordered violet falls. Dependable grower.
