From AIS Bulletin #205 April 1972 Introducing Big Smoky (Thomas '72) E-M. 34". (DREAM TIME X MULBERRY WINE). The color of this iris, by the color charts, is really reddish aster violet. However, it does have a "smoky" different color that is hard to describe and does remind one of INDIAN SUMMER. The color is not a "dirty" or "dull" color, but a different color that everyone notices and likes. Ever since we first saw this seedling in our seedling patch, everyone has been calling it "BIG SMOKY." It has wide brown hafts, wide round falls, closed standards, red beards, ruffled and has good branching. A good grower. $20.00. Thomas Gardens. |
