HUMMING BIRD (Knowlton 1952) M. Light and airy, the very ruffled flowers of Egyptian buff and white have great appeal in their luminous color harmony. The crisp fluted standards are buff, firmly held by the strong midrib. The broad flaring falls are white, lightly bordered with the buff of the standards, and the center of the flower is illumined by a deeper glow accentuated by the short orange beard. The flowers have firm texture, and are poised on strong well branched stalks. A charming iris. H. C., A. I. S. 1950. H. M., A. I. S. 1952. 40 in. $5.00. [Fairmount catalog, 1955]
