Awaiting original catalog description |
Still in the border class, Melba Hamblen's FAIRY JEWELS is one of the most charming iris I know for arranging. The natural pose of the flower, the flaring form, and the fine gold-wire laced edge around the petals make it a fine example of the beautiful form, substance, and quality that are found in the new border iris that come from aristocratic breeding. (Deru, 1961). |
