| [Cooley's Gardens 1965]: I believe Queen's Taste was the standout of the season for me because of its unusual coloring. It is sort of an amoena blend, reddish falls with white border, lilac standards and light yellow beard. Flower has good form and adequate stem. Everyone will want this iris. Waters, Don (1952). Random Comment, American Iris Society Bulletin 128 (January 1953), 53. Lavender-pink standards with a strong mid-rib. The falls are a blended rose to violet-red, the entire flower full and very large in size. HM AIS, 1953; AM, 1955. -- DavidPotembski - 24 Apr 2013 |
