IRISH LULLABY (Moldovan '65) Superb in its home garden, this lives up to its billing. A true pink that has exceptional depth of color; is heavily laced and beautifully formed. The flowers are very large with excellent substance and are carried on well-branched strong stems. This iris is unusually floriferous and would seem to have most excellent growth characteristics.
