From AIS Bulletin #297 April 1995 Introducing MARY CONSTANCE (C. Bartlett 95) IB 24" E-M. By British Dykes Medal winner, Cy Bartlett. Cy considers this his best ever iris, good enough to carry his lovely wife's name. He's right! This blue violet self with a blue beard will rival the best of BB's. Every stalk is perfectly spaced, with flowers perfectly proportioned and bubble ruffled. Absolutely beautiful! (Violet Lass x Amadora). $20.00. Sutton's Green Thumber. |
