From Keith Keppel Iris catalog, 1984: GIGOLO (Keppel '84) E 35" (74-32B: ((Roundup x Artwork sib) x Osage Buff) X 75-1138: (Flamenco sib x (Roundup sib x April Melody))). Excitingly different! Golden-orange ground plicata, falls with a strong 1/2" border of raspberry, widening across the hafts. Not only does he dress wildly, he also sports a neatly trimmed carrot red beard. Not a cheap thrill, but definitely an experience you'll remember! Ruffled flowers, well-branched stalks. Best seedling in show, Region 14 Spring Meeting, 1982. #77-111G 35.00 |
