From AIS Bulletin #225 Spring 1977 Introducing LADY LOVELORN (K. Mohr '77). TB, 38". Due to a distant relative's sensational entrance not long ago, this Lady feels unloved, although she has a captivating personality of her own. Beautifully fluted, the falls are broad, touching at the hafts and have a unique shade of glowing red-violet. Standards are light silvery blue and closed. Classically formed flowers are large with crisp, enduring substance. Very vigorous plants are prolific in bloom and increase. (Apropos X Mystic Mood).'76 RTG Award. $20.00. Mohr Gardens.
LADY LOVELORN (K. Mohr) was a rather so-so iris not too different from many in this color class, poor branching with flowers of pale blue standards and violet-purple falls. [F. G. Stephenson, (VA), “1980 Iris Season Reviewed in Virginia”, The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 239 (October 1980): 43.]
