From Fairmount Gardens, 1955: BUTTONHOLE (Knowlton 1953) M. Petite and sprightly, this charming iris is a recessive plicata, coming from (Seduction x Tiffany) x Bonanza. A very clear medium yellow with a small white blaze on the falls. On one of the last visits to the Knowlton garden of Dr. and Mrs. Tobie, they had been admiring this iris, and said it should be named, so Mr. Knowlton said, "What shall I name it?" and quick as a flash the Doctor replied, "Buttonhole". A most pleasing name for this firm substanced iris that offers delightful possibilities for flower arrangement as well as border planting. H. C., A. I. S. 1952. 28 in. $3.00
