Re: REF: Iris Descriptions, Please


From: RYFigge@aol.com

Steve, you are correct, it is LIBATION ~ dear Ben HAger's ('75) S wine red; F 
deeper, dark spot in center, yel B
I wonder if anyone has thought about collecting Ben's irises in a special 
garden spot?  Wish i had room because he produced outstanding irises

BLACK TORNADA (Plough '83) TB ML 34" Purp;e black; B mustard, yel in throat, 
sweet fragrance.   However, after being in OK for the National I shudder at 
the name!  And we  have a Tornado AND Flood Watch here until afternoon.  
Mother Nature on the rampage is not a favorite of mine.MAYA MIDNIGHT  (A. 
Machulak '86)  SDB  9.5" M       S  Gold, deep mahogany base;    F  mahogany, 
narrowly edged gold;  B  Gold; slight sweet fragrance   (sounds pretty)

MARMALADE SKIES  (D.Niswonger'78   BB 27"  E    S  & F   Apricot orange with 
pink tinge;  F slightly ruffled;  B  orange

PUN  (Keppel '91? I think, but the book is in the other room - it was R in 
'90)  IB  19"     EM  S  deep chrome lemon ground,  strongly shaded rosy 
brown on outer 2/3;  F  deep chrome lemon, chalet red, very faint  dot edge 
matching tan yellow effect of  S       B white based, pale violet mid, light 
yel top;  slight sweet 
fragrance   (Sunce it is Keith's it is bound to be good!)

I think that was the list, good luck with them.  Rosalie nr Baltimore  zone 7
