From AIS Bulletin #213 April 1974 Introducing MODERNAIRE (Luihn '74). Sdlg. 70-4-A. Lilac Mist X Royal Heritage. TB, M, 36". This cross of two of our favorite irises gave us several seedlings which we considered worth holding over for further evaluation, as it gave us the best qualities of both of its award winning parents. MODERNAIRE, which we are offering this year, is a delightful self of campanula violet (RHS 37), a shade exactly between the colors of its two parents, with a thick self beard highlighted by a warm maroon wash on the shoulders. HC '73. $25.00. Luihn's Iris Garden.
