From Walter Marx Gardens catalog 1955: PIERRE MENARD (Faught 1948) Each 2.50. The finest medium blue iris to date and a definite advance in the darker blues. Flowers are of massive size with broad falls, ruffled and semi-flaring. Stems are strong with 3 way branching. We predict tremendous popularity for this superb iris. 40 inches. HM AIS 1948, AM 1950.
"Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote" is a short story by Argentina writer Jorge Luis Borges. Pierre Menard was a fictional eccentric 20th-century French writer and polymath.
