Attributed to John Salter and in the previous post Peter Barr listed 'Queen of May' in
his 1874 collection, so I just had to pull some
information together to highlight one of the great treasures and
possibly one of the great natural hybrid's of the pallida line. It was
Milan Blazek who stimulated my interest in this Iris when many years ago
we discussed his trip to Yugoslavia to see the vista of natural iris
hybrids growing wild. (I must write to Milan to see if he could send the
photo of a basket of his pickings...
