From AIS Bulletin #241 April 1981 Introducing FICTION. Can an iris be soft and subtle, yet totally stunning? Yes, I think so! Creamy light yellow standards with a faint blush of soft rose at the midribs; creamy white falls with a wide plicata edge of light rose-violet, with darker rose-violet shoulders and yellow beards. A large, rounded and lightly ruffled flower. Show stalks-three nicely placed flowers are common, yet the plant is free growing and flowering, but never at the expense of healthy increase. EC '79 and best TB seedling Region 14 Region Seedling Show at Sacramento. HC '80. Montage X Smoke Rings. $25.00. Pacific Coast Hybridizers. |
