From Mid-America Garden catalog, 2008: MEOW (Black 08) SDB Midseason-Late 15” (38cm). "Meow", says Miss Kitty, demanding that you pay attention to her, and you will. Open standards are medium lavender-blue and styles more violet. Falls are medium violet with large red-violet blended spots that are kitty-whisker veined darker. Beards are bright yellow ending in short violet-white darts. Meow is very round, sprightly and sure to please. I am using it heavily to produce green and turquoise irises with red beards. Wide variation in color of sibs in this cross. Sdlg. M200E: (Buddy Boy x Lumalite) X (Near Myth x Fires of Fiji.) $18.00.
