From Tempo Two catalog, 2015: OLIVE WINDOWS (Blyth 2015 Aust) VVE 33”. If you want a Tall Bearded Iris to flower before most of the Dwarf Bearded Iris are flowering, then here it is. It begins flowering for us in mid September and because of a high bud count, continues into the normal early TB season in October. So it may not be ideal for areas that have late frosts. Standards are lavender grey, blended olive at the hafts. Falls are mustard yellow to olive yellow. It is a distinct bicolour. Beards are gold. Wide very ruffled blooms on show stems. May be flowering for a late Daffodil show. It occasionally has rebloomed lightly in Summer. Good increaser and very fertile, particularly with Dwarf Bearded Iris. (Another Woman X Pirate Queen). Sdlg. No U119-1. $50.00.
