See below:
From the 1980 Pacific Coast Hybridiziers Catalog: Acrobat (Bryce Williamson 1980) can be visualized as a better formed, more ruffled, and deeply colored version of its parent Deja Vu. The closed and fluted standards are a medium tone of silver-lilac, infused, washed, and flushed with amber-plum. The rounded falls of a lighter silver-lilac have half-inch bands of amber-plum and clean amber shoulders. Yellow-orange beards complete this iris. A healthy growing plant produces 36" stalks that have three branches, terminal, and seven buds to the stalk. Early to midseason. Deja Vu X Louise Watts $25.00 |
