From AIS Bulletin #245 April 1982 Introducing MISSOURI SUNRISE-Sdlg. 10-78. Happy Harmony X 2-72: ((Java Dove x ((Happy Birthday x Glittering Amber) x Marilyn C)) x Sunset Snows). TB, 32", E-M, 7 buds, fertile both ways. An early morning plane trip in the fall to our state capitol with brilliant colprs as the sun was rising with hues of pink, red, buff and yellow reminded me of this striking iris. It's a bicolor with pink stds. and a hint of buff with deep yellow falls. The flower is somewhat tailored in form. Something different for the garden. EC '81. $25.00. Cape Iris. |
