New Zealand Tall Bearded Iris IRWELL TRIBUTE
IRWELL TRIBUTE is a very fine blending of old gold standards with very smart burgandy plicata on creamy orange ground falls. Attractive sanded and dotted pattern much in the style of the great 'COLORTART' (Innerst 83). Magnificent form, substance and texture that is simply presented with only light waving, no lace or other clutter. In only one season it is already much admired in the garden for it's vigorous clean growth and the unusual color pattern. Registered as parentage unknown but I have filled in the parentage from Ron's breeding records for your information.
