| From Windwood Gardens catalog, 2008: WHO'S ON FIRST. Sdlg. 01S3A8. SPEC-X. 37", VE. 97X1A3 (I typhifolia sdlg. x Flutter by Butterfly sib) x 90U2A2 (83N4B5: (Ruflled Velvet x 79Pl: (Polly Dodge x Anniversary)) X Lady Vanessa sib). Although this is only one quarter I typhifolia, most of the flower and growth characteristics are typical of this species so it seemed reasonable to register it as SPEC-X. For a start, Who's On First blooms very early in the season, at least two weeks before the main Siberian bloom, which gives it its name- this iris will be on first. Second, the flowers have the classical species form with pendant falls and upright standards, but they are larger than typical for the species. A major value of the flowers is the deeply saturated violet-purple color with redder stylearms and no signal. The unopened buds are almost black. Other virtues are the outstanding vigor and tall, tight clump effect with a profusion of flowers.Typically it has 1 branch, 3 buds in the terminal, and 3-5 buds overall. Finally, like typhifolia, it has unusually narrow blue-green foliage, but fortunately this stays upright for the whole season without the summer collapse commonly seen with the species. $25.00 |
