From Joe Pye Weed catalog, 2014: SOLAR ENERGY - SIBERIAN. Schafer/Sacks (Seedling No. S0?-69-10), 25", M. Years ago we set a goal to make a Siberian with a yellow thumbprint. This iris meets that goal and goes beyond what we hoped for. It has wonderful form, substance and personality with cream standards, light yellow styles, deep yellow falls, and a wide cream rim. A good clump with medium sized flowers, two branches with four buds, and a succession of stalks for a long bloom. Sibling to Colonel Mustard X (((Summer Revels x Tom Schaefer) x sib to Lady's Chain) x sib to Trip To Paris). $35.00 |
