From Mid-America Garden catalog, 2012: VERY SPECIAL (Black ‘12) TB Midseason-Late 35” (89cm). You too will think it is Very Special when you see mature clumps of this superb garden iris. Its forte has been consistent strong performance each year. Strong show stalks have 3 branches plus spur and 8-9 buds. Make note of the bicolored beards. It is a great candidate for use in pink/blue breeding. Sdlg. N44A: Paris Fashion X Waterfall Mist. $50.00.
