From AIS Bulletin #244 January 1982 Introducing DESERT MIST. Something different in a brown-toned plicata. Standards of golden tan, infused, brushed, peppered and sanded sandlewood; creamy white falls have a precise plicata edge of golden tan, with hafts sanded and peppered sandlewood; lemon on white-base beards. This seedling of Osage Buff X Iris Nelson's 34-74A: (Smoke Rings x Decolletage) is 32-34" tall, has medium-sized flowers that are ruffled, flared and tightly formed. Desert Mist should prove to be an interesting parent for red-beareded plicata seedlings. $25.00. Pacific Coast Hybridizers.
