KEZAR LAKE (Knowlton 1951) M. A clear medium blue that was named for the beautiful Maine lake where for many years the Knowltons spent their summers. The first time I saw this iris I was impressed by the blueness of its color. A self with large flowers that is more blue and without the self veining that is found in Great Lakes, one of its parents. The wide standards are domed and firmly held by the strong midrib; the rounded falls are broad and flaring with a slight fluting at the edges. Tall with almost perfect branching, this iris withstands rain, sun and wind unusually well H.C., A.I.S. 1948. H.M., A.I.S. 1951. 38 in. $5.00. Fairmount catalog, 1955. |
