ROBBIE LEE (Donald Denney, 1978). TB, M, 35”. This ruffled French blue self regularly displays three large, nearly perfectly formed blossoms on each show stalk, The white beards, tipped yellow in the throat accentuate its beautiful sky blue color. Plant habits are excellent; multiple bloom stalks and increase. Because I felt the iris was superior, I’ve named it for my grandmother, a master gardener and farmer, Mrs. Robbie Lee Denney of Vine, Tennessee.
