From AIS Bulletin #257 April 1985 Introducing WATCH IT (Weiler 85) TB 34" (86 cm) E-M. After many years of work, our attempts to produce early blooming, dark violet and black irises are giving results. Beautifully branched stalks display 7-8 flowers of dark violet standards, smooth black violet falls and dark violet beards early enough in the season to avoid the searing heat that spoils most black irises in late season. Easy grower and fertile both ways. Watch It produce. Sdlg. 74-111. 71-22-1: (((Pierre Menard x Sable Night) x Edenite) x (Congo Song x (Pierre Menard x Sable Night)}) x Midnight Special) X His Lordship. $25.00. Rialto Gardens.
