From Tempo Two catalog 2015: ARGYLE KNIGHT (Blyth 2015 Aust) M 34” We have been working towards better variegatas for over 30 years, and to improve them it has been much more difficult than first imagined. Only in the last 3 or 4 years are we starting to see variegates that match the quality and form of other colour patterns of Bearded Iris. 'Argyle Knight' is a move in the right direction. It is much more ruffled than any other variegata and the colour on the falls goes right up to the standards with very few haft marks. The standards are butter yellow and the falls are very velvety burgundy red and finished with a fine edge of buff. Beards are light bronze-gold. It has show stems with flower placement of 2 or 3 out at once spaced perfectly. Good grower and a fine parent. Fertile. (T32-2: 'Cross My Heart' sib X (T147-1: ((R38-3: 'Wicked Woman' x 'Popstar') x ('Wedding Belle' x 'Starring')) X 'Beauty School')) Sdlg No V229-A. $60.00.
