From Blue J Iris online catalog, 2017: REDHEAD WINIFRED - Leonard & Kathryn Jedlicka, 2010, TB, 34-38”, EM. Named for Kathie’s red-haired mother & a new baby niece, this is a tribute to Winnie’s Irish heritage. 7-10 blackish buds open up with lightly ruffled wine-red standards & falls, which soon turn rich brownish-red. The beards have lavender bases covered with bright gold hair tips, & the styles are gold with red-purple stripes. The scent is mild but spicy. Good plants have perfect stalks & branching.
