Awaiting original catalog description. |
GAY PARASOL, despite all the buds huddling up at the top of the stalk, is a lovely little laced bicolor worth seeing in a clump. Orchid standards, rich, glowing red violet falls, much lace. It grows well, and the height is just right, meriting its being called dainty. [Margaret Dean, (NM), “How They Grow, New Mexico Style”, The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 246 (July 1982): 14. |
