| From Fairmount Gardens. 1945: SOUSUN (Essig 1945) M. L. Some irises are flamboyant, but this fascinating one is just the opposite for it is a refreshing lemon cream with quality written all over it. The name is the Arabic word for iris. A pale lemon yellow laid over a shining ice-like background, its clean color distinguishes it from any other of the pale yellows. Floriferous and blooms over a long period, it is a welcome addition to a color class in which there are too few. Medium to large flowers of smooth firm texture, excellent branching. Thoroughly hardy in New England. H. C., A. I. S. 1944. R.88, 1944. 40 in. $15.00. |
