From AIS Bulletin #349 April 2008 Introducing EMMA'S LAUGHTER (Poole, '08 - sdlg. CC-3-1: Aaron's Bluebells x white sdlg., very early) Named for our oldest granddaughter. A very clean, cool, blue-white iris, tinted blue in the heart of the flower. Not just another white iris. This flower has hafts that lap 5/8" - 3/4" inch with no visible haft markings. Pale blue-white beards tipped pale yellow. Moderate branching on very stiff, upright stalks topping out at 33", support 6 - 8 large, pleasantly ruffled flowers of heavy substance with a sweet, but not overly pronounced, fragrance. Just before the buds open, they smell faintly like crushed cedar. Excellent garden plant. Transplants readily. Emma's Laughter is not an inbred iris, but a true Fl hybrid produced by crossing two inbred lines of iris to produce a hybrid, like producing hybrid corn. This iris, once established and grown in good garden soil in a Midwest like climate, should not, be watered or fertilized. Emma's Laughter can perform without being pampered. $50.00. Red Bud Lane Iris Garden.
