Full Description

TB, Midseason bloom, Color Class-B3M. I. cypriana x I. pallida.

From Bonnewitz catalog, 1923-24: LADY FOSTER (Foster) $2.00. This is one of the most beautiful Irises of the Lord of June type, but it is extremely difficult to grow. I believe it is more beautiful than Lord of June but it is not as reliable as that famous variety. I can furnish comparatively few roots of it, and I hope that purchasers have better success with it than I have had.
