Full Description

TB MLa Y9D

From Rene Cayeux’s catalog for 1939: “S. gold yellow slightly tinted lilac. F. wine red ground quite striated and edged bronzy yellow. Strong effect of the opposition of colour, late flowering. Height 3 ft.”

From Cooley’s Gardens catalog for 1950: “A French introduction resembling in some ways the popular MARQUITA but with more cinnamon rose color in the falls and considerable of this tint blended in the standards. The ground color is deep cream. A really different iris and a good grower and free bloomer; seldom seen.”
