From Tempo Two catalog, 1988: WITCH'S WAND (Blyth 88 Aust) M-ML 36" 0101-15. This has been a delight to us for 4 or so years since flowering as a seedling. It is being co-introduced with Keith Keppel in California. The standards are electric violet-black with a silky sheen; falls are near black with a velvety finish. The flowers are set off with bright tangerine red beards. The form is wide and ruffled and show stems are produced. It is the nearest we have seen to a red bearded black Iris. Simply stunning in the garden. (Tomorrow's Child X Magic Man). Sister to In Town, Moomba, London Lord and Pass the Wine. HM, Garden Cup, Florence 88. $35.00. |
