From Mid-America Garden catalog, 2010: COVERED IN KISSES (Black ‘10) (small flowered) TB Early Midseason 34" (86cm). Covered In Kisses is another in my series of small flowered Tall Bearded Iris. Some little fairy flew by, paint brush in hand, and smacked each of these pristine white beauties with a bright orange kiss. Flowers aren't quite as small as what my ultimate vision for this small flowered project calls for, but how could I discard something that presents such visual pleasure? Sturdy stalks have 3 branches and 9-11 buds. Fast forming clumps are filled with an abundance of stalks and flowers. Covered in Kisses can be enjoyed both for its impact as a clump and as separate, individual flowers. Sdlg M140CC: Dolce X (Country Dawn sib x White Heat). $50.00. |
