From Sidney Conger Louisiana Iris catalog, 1952: MIDSHIPMAN. (Richard, '50). S. L. I. Show Winner '49, H. M., A. I. S., '50. At its unveiling at the Lafayette Show in 1949 there was no doubt of the success of this variety. The large broad floral segments of wisteria violet are combined to create a most pleasing campanulate form that flares. The large spear-shaped signal patch of bright yellow is outlined by a deeper and redder violet. Flowers, 7" span; height, 36". $5.00. |
