got the name mixed up. As it has not bloomed yet, I cannot tell you the
color of it. >>
From the 1999 Friendship Gardens Catalog:
CAMEO BLUSH (Weiler '98) BB 25" E-L slightly ruffled peach 4x4" flowers have
flaring falls and peachy yellow standards. Three branched stalks have 7 buds.
As this iris is distributed over the country we should be getting a lot of
reblooming reports. In this, its first year, it was in 2 gardens in PA and
rebloomed in both. Rebloom reported so far in CA and PA, Zones 6, 9.
BB means it is a Border Bearded, which is a smaller iris than a Tall Bearded
--but not as petite in all its parts as a MTB (Miniature Tall Bearded or
Table Iris). BBs bloom with the tall bearded irises. Selling in 1999 at $30.00
If, judging by the foliage, your iris looks like it is really TB size, you
might find it useful to know that they also list CAMEO WINE, a Blyth rose
with a tangerine beard from 1983.
Hope this helps.
