Full Description

TB 42″ M

From Quality Gardens catalog for 1930: “Stalk well branched, flowers large. S. violet purple; F. continga purple, very velvety. The general effect is a rich dark red, of one color, but owing to the extreme velvety quality of the falls, it looks like a bicolor. Some keen iris experts are very enthusiastic about this and think it is the finest flower which Williamson ever introduced. We strongly recommend it.” PBF
