RAEJEAN (Whiting 1940) M.L. Raejean is considered by the originator as one of the most lovely in her garden. A striking two toned yellow and one of the brightest and deepest of this type. The flowers are very large with firmly domed standards of clear chrome yellow. The falls are wide and long, of cream yellow, distinctly bordered with deep yellow and set off by a heavy yellow beard. Tall, widely branched, and late blooming, this iris adds greatly to the extension of iris bloom in the garden. R. 88 1941. 40 in.
