■(TB) 'Ramona S.'

1971, Smith

'Ramona S.' (Eva Smith, R. 1970). Seedling# 68-7. TB, 36" (91 cm), Midseason bloom. Clear orchid self, silver line around edges; tangerine beard. 'Rippling Waters' X 'Fond Wish'. Smith's Iris Gardens 1971.

For me, RAMONA S. (E. Smith '71) is not a good grower-but the flower is hard to overlook. A light shade of orchid to lavender plus lots of ruffles give it distinct character. [James McWhirter, “Reflections and Anticipations,” The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, Vol. 57, No. 221 (April 1976): 14.]
