From AIS Bulletin #301 April 1996 Introducing ERIN STROLL (Niswonger '96) Sdlg. BB 30-92: Nefertiti's Daughter X Coral Light. TB, 25" (64 cm), M. From the parentage, you may be surprised to learn that this is a Border Bearded iris, an ivory self with green infusion and a beard that is white with a marigold base. I was really impressed when I first saw it on a windy day. Its starchiness was taking the wind quite well. It was very vigorous and hardy. The stems are straight and an easy grower. $25.00. Cape Iris. |
