|From AIS Bulletin #180, January 1966. Introducing BIG BLACK BUMBLEBEE. Arilbred, 24", E-M, Sdlg. 65-4. S. deep amethyst-pink, veined dark mulberry; F similar but darker; beard bronze. Black signal. THESUS X Wo 1 Sdlg. (C. White). Here we have an arilbred that has as clear a signal as any pure onco. The name was given because from a distance the signal looks like a large bumblebee sitting on the falls. It is extremely hardy and easy to grow. Does not go dormant and increases rapidly. This is the only reason for the low price listed. $20.00. Mount Clare iris Gardens.|
