From AIS Bulletin #197 April 1970 Introducing BALLYHOO M. 38". Siva Siva X Diplomacy. Colors that fairly shout at you: clear light yellow standards, falls veronica violet blended dove grey at the margins. Deeper tones of coronation purple flow down from the hafts, and the yellow-tipped white beard is surrounded by a white spray pattern. Standards closed, falls lightly flared and ruffled. Excellent branching, plentiful increase. Differs from its sib Vaudeville in blooming later, with larger, less flared flowers of a slightly deeper shade. Wild! (See illustration inside back cover.) $25.00. Keith Keppel. |
Another "kook" we rather liked this spring is BALLYHOO. One of the new "bicolor-plicatas" with yellowish standards and violetish falls sort of plicated white around the beard. Dependable and unique. [Joe Ghio, “The Eye of the Beholder,” The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 199 (October 1970): 43.] |
