| From Keith Keppel Iris catalog, 1984: LAREDO (Keppel '84) E 35" (Santana X 74-328: pod parent to Gigolo) The most intense, dark lemon-gold ground plicata we have ever bloomed. Standards almost completely suffused rich golden brown; falls with dotted golden brown edges and a white "V" pattern below the orange beards, the remainder of the falls being unmarked lemon gold. Not without fault, as the color dulls with age and the highly ruffled flowers may "channel" in the heat, but the tall, floriferous stalks and vivid coloration make it a garden standout. #77-1190 25.00. |
