WILD WEST (Ghio '79) is going to have to prove itself. A mahogany-brown self with golden brown beards, it surely didn't perform well here, as the flower fades rapidly and the stalk has poor branching. [F. G. Stephenson, (VA), “1980 Iris Season Reviewed in Virginia”, The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 239 (October 1980): 43.] |
