From Carl Salbach catalog 1944: LADY MOHR (Salbach 1944). Yellow seedling from (Alta California x King Midas) x (Wm. Mohr x Macrantha). An iris that has the charm and grace of a beautifully dressed lady. Bred from a bearded iris to an oncocyclus hybrid, Lady Mohr has inherited the best characteristics of both parents. From the seed parent we have hardiness and tall well branched stems. From the pollen parent we have the large rounded standards and the broad semi-flaring falls. The color combination is most unusual. Standards are clear oyster shell white and falls a frosted chartreuse yellow with prominent veining. Withstands heat, sun, wind and rain and blooms over a long period of time. We have had blooms from early April to mid-May. Gives pollen freely and bears seed. Stock limited. One rhizome to a customer. 36". $35.00. |
