From AIS Bulletin #197 April 1970 Introducing Virtuoso (Corlew 1970.)$25.00 Net. Merriam-Webster defines Virtuoso as one who excels. Certainly then this is a fitting name for an Iris that excels in creating a bright spot in the garden. The medium yellow color looks even brighter set off by the white area below the self beard. 32". Seedling No. 472-7A. Early to midseason. County Fair X Sexton Sdlg: (Grand Teton x Moon River) x (Top Flight x Techny Chimes). Cherry Lane Gardens.
