From Windwood Gardens catalog, 2008: COPPER COUNTRY. Sdlg. 06Tl5A6 (Lemon Veil x 03E2Al5 (sib to Gem Quality)). 24". Diploid. E. We have never moved a seedling into the introduction stream faster than this, but the rich copper color of the falls with the diffuse gold blaze proved both original and irresistible enough to say "yes" with barely a second thought. The falls are semi-pendant and well ruffled with a lighter tan edge to the copper. The standards open a very light tan and fade to lavender. The style arms are light blue with lavender accents. Lots of colors in one flower! This flower has been the object of some wonder to visitors since the colors are new to most irisarians, although they are more brilliant on day one than later. One branch and a tidy growth habit with upright blue-green foliage make for a good looking plant. The name also reflects the magnificent upper peninsula of Michigan with its 5,000 year history of providing copper to both native and late-arriving Americans. Because of the early introduction supplies are likely to be limited. $40.00
