References

From AIS Bulletin #341 April 2006 Introducing CASTOR RIVER (Niswonger'06), Spuria, Sdlg.Sp3-98: Missouri Rainbows X I. notha. 38"(96.5 cms) Mid. Another of the I. notha hybrids with summer green foliage showing hybrid vigor. It's a deep blue with a gold signal. The name comes from a river in which I went swimming with my grandpa when he was 87 and I was 11. Aside from this sentimentality, it's an iris you will enjoy growing. It doesn't set seed very easily but persistence may produce a couple. $25.00. Cape Iris.
