From Keith Keppel Iris catalog, 2014: GAMBLING MAN M 38" (Silk Road X Roaring Twenties) Sharp contrast between waved and ruffled medium yellow standards and lobelia to columbine blue semi-flared falls. Fall edges pale to show 1/16" blended chartreuse beige; beards predominantly tan yellow. Sturdy well-branched stalks, easy growth, good color contrast. This one is a sure bet! #06-77A. $50.00. |
