From AIS Bulletin #221 April 1976 Introducing LADY OF SPAIN (Luihn '76). #72.24. TB, 34", M-L. Latin Lover X (((Fusilier x Orange Crush) x Celestial Glory) x Spanish Gift) x Glacier Sunset). This exotic-looking beauty out of Latin Lover has been such a favorite with our many garden visitors since it first bloomed for us that naming it Lady of Spain was a natural. The beautifully domed standards are a creamy blush pink, and are nicely ruffled. The very wide and ruffled falls are dahlia purple (RHS 931/1) with precise fluted edges the color of the standards, highlighted by a bright shrimp-red beard. She is a heavy bloomer, and often sends up another burst of bloom later on in the season. $25.00., Luihn's Iris Garden. |
