COUNTRYMAN (Gaulter, 1975) M. 36" $25.00. From several generations of seedlings, such as Royal Gold and West Coast, comes this ruffled medium-yellow self with hafts flushed white, spilling on the center of the falls. The yellow beard adds to the richness of the overall appearance and the wide flare gives it a strength of character of loyalty, and esprit de corps. The stalks are well branched, excellent substance in flowers and blooms over long period of time. Seedling #71-13. [Cooley's Iris, 1975].
