1971, Plough

'Sinkiang' ( Gordon Plough, R. 1970). Seedling# 66-65-47. TB, 31" (79 cm), Early midseason bloom. Standards white with 3/4" solid border of flax blue (642/2), modulating with dotted pattern; flax blue styles striped violet; falls white with 1/4" edging of Victorian violet (738/2), color carried to beard in veined pattern; butterfly blue beard tipped orange. 'Talent Show' X 'Stepping Out'. Eden Road 1971.

"SINKIANG is a plicata done in two shades of blue. The standards are much like RIBBON ROUND with the falls similar to BLUE PETTICOATS. This is definitely a new color for irises." [Ron Mullin, “Memories of the Convention,” The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 206 (July 1972): 22.]

"A bicolor plicata like SINKIANG is also a new color pattern. The standards are white edged in light blue while the falls are white with a violet edging. The form on this one is good and the contrast in color makes it quite a beauty." [Ron Mullin, “An Iris Holiday,” The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 208 (January 1973): 13.]
