From The Court Of Iris catalog, 1955: ARDRUN (McLeod '53) E 36" (Artemis X Gudrun). A gigantic purplish-red flower with very strong midribs which are most noticeable in the flaring falls. A dramatic accent is lent by the unusually wide, heavy brownish-black beard. The fertile pollen and unusual parentage combine to make this a breeder's flower-the seed parent, Artemis, is from the Regelia 'Korolkowi Violaceae' crossed by the Oncocyclus 'Mariae'. $15.00
From Fleur De Lis catalog, 1956: ARDRUN (Mcleod 1954) E. M. 36 in. (Artemis x Gudrun). A gigantic, and broad. petaled flower of rich purple red with a darker signal around the broad black beard. Very beautiful and different. 10.00
