Donald J. Boen of Walla Walla, Wash. sent his novelty PAINTED DOLL to Wilma Vallette who in turn sent it to me to guest. When this bloomed in the very late season I was taken with its similarity to that very old table iris Peacock's Eye, yet here was a standard T.B. and one to help close the season. Donald tells me he has produced a very good red amoena from its use as pod parent. Crossed with Melodrama or some of its seedlings (such as Gypsy Lullaby) is sure to give some unusual things. I am co-introducing this with Wilma Vallette. (Tell's, 1964, p 2). |
