AMBASSADEUR: This variety, in my opinion, comes at the head of the list, having received a rating by the American Iris Society of 94 out of 96 points. It is exceedingly rich in coloring with smoky lavender standards and velvety purple maroon falls. [Robert Wayman, "Best Twenty-five Irises", The Flower Grower Oct 1925: 404. Print.] |
From Memoir 100: Standards Hyssop violet dulled by the antimony yellow flush that pervades the entire center of the bloom; falls very velvety violet carmine, stalk stout, well and widely branched 40" |
SIS Bull 9: Color intensified by dark wire edge on all segements; beard conspicious, orange, brown speckled; haft white, ochore veined reverse green; falls drooping |
