Back in May there were some posts re the pronounciation of this iris. I
just found it in the April 1969 AIS Bulletin which I received from a
friend recently. I quote: (p.36):
"Pop O Sha (Mrs. Stephena Woodside) TB 38" E-M Symphohy X Ribbon Round.
Pronounced po po sha, the Shoshone Indian name for a beautiful sky-blue
lake in Wyoming." (the check list says MISS Woodside)
It also says, "Tall, sturdy, spectacularly branched stalks (4 and
terminal) bear large, heavily ruffled, sky-blue flowers that are
distinctively beautiful. Large, purple-based foliage; extremely vigorous
and rapid of increase; in some areas may even need to be divided yearly.
$25.00"
Sounds like a blue iris I would like to have!
