From AIS Bulletin #241 April 1981 Introducing BRANDY James McWhirter, 1981). TB, M, 36". From a cross that most people considered unusual, to say the least, comes amost interesting iris with great hybridizing potential. BRANDY is a color combination of toasted melon, tan, pink, rosy brown, with highlights of gold. Heavy substanced blossoms are extremely ruffled and fluted on well-branched stalks with 8 buds. From the time the blossoms open until the day they fold, you will see several shades of each color mentioned above. BRANDY seems to change each day and never suffers from these changes. BRANDY is being heavily used in seeking the elusive red iris as its breeding potential seems to be unlimited. (PINK SLEIGH X WAR LORD). HC '79 & '80. See our color ad in the January, 1981, AIS Bulletin. $25.00. Cottage Gardens.
