From Tell’s Iris Garden catalog, 1948: MIST GLOW (Muhleslein) (Sundust x Radiant) We are all working for an amoena. Here is a different one. White standards, pale violet falls with some gold reticulations. Height 36 inches. $10.00.
The iris Mist Glow is quite different from anything else which has been introduced. Tell Muhlestein describes it in his catalog as, "Amoena with white standards and light lavender falls reticulated gold." I would hardly call it an amoena, but I don't want to get into a discussion of the meaning of terms at present. I think we may assume that its genetic makeup consists of the anthocyanin-inhibitor gene, I, inhibiting completely the pigment of the standards (leaving them pure white) but only partially inhibiting the color in the falls (leaving them a light lavender color). From its catalog description I had expected the flower to have a most unattractive haft, but instead there was an attractive, smooth gold infiltration at the haft. On a one year plant, Mist Glow had a very short stem, but large flowers. I feel that its stem was not typical, and that it will no doubt be taller in another year. Galyon, F.
