From AIS Bulletin #297 April 1995 Introducing SMOKED PEARL REVISITED (Niswonger '95) Sdlg. 44-88: Matinee Idol X Pink Ballerina, a sib to Raspberry Splendor. TB, 34" (86 cm), L. When this smoky mauve bloomed for the first time, it reminded me of Truman Gladish's Smoked Pearl with better branching and wider form. The beard is dark tangerine. This cross produced some very nice seedlings; however, I haven't been able to get seed from this one. It's about the last TB to bloom in my garden so if you are looking for a season extender or if you are normally bloomed out for the iris show, you will want this one. It makes beautiful show stalks. $35.00. Cape Iris.
