(JI) 'Philip Frost'
1877,
'Philip Frost' (
Max Leichtlin, 1877) offers this note; "Iris Kaempferi, Philip Frost.— Mr. Barr sends us blooms of this, which is one of his new varieties. It is a splendid flower, measuring 5.4 inches across, the three falls of a rich mulberry-purple, with a radiating golden bar near the base, each measuring about 3 inches in width, and almost circular in outline. The small petals are of the same purple colour, and the petaloid stigmas of a still darker purple. The plant must be very showy."
