From The Court Of Iris catalog, 1955: MOHRLOFF (Schirmer '49) M (Ormohr X Orloff). Although this Iris is but one eighth Onco, it has quite an Onco look which is further accented by the plicata blood from the pollen parent. The flowers have a white ground heavily marked in an all over pattern of lavender. Almost universally reported as fertile both ways. We can go so far as to say that its pollen was potent on almost anything we used it with-both tall bearded and Onco-bred. $1.00 |
