Awaiting original catalog description |
From Iris Test Garden Catalog, 1955: DARK FIRE. (Tompkins, 1949). M-VL. 38-40 in. Brilliant and imposing, this is a most difficult Iris to describe. A near self of black red, it has a slight infusion of brown and a glowing undertone of deep vermillion that gives it a fiery, smoldering appearance. The flowers have good form and substance; and are well placed on strong nicely branched stalks. $3.00. |
