From Fairmount Gardens, 1958: IVORY SNOW 54-50A (Nesmith 1958) M. A full petaled white of lovely ruffled flaring form and sparkling sheen.The very frilled standards with a strong midrib are firmly domed and the flaring falls have the same extreme frilling. There is an opaque quality in this iris that makes the whiteness unusually intense and the pale yellow beard tipped white completes the fascinating ensemble. Firm substanced blooms on 3 way branching stalks. Crystal White x W-63 (H. F. Hall white seedling) 37 in. $15.00 |
