LADY BYNG (1922)

TB-MLa-R7M 

Phyllis Bliss x ?

 

A sister seedling to Susan Bliss

A very beautiful iris and like Susan Bliss, a descendent of Phyllis Bliss. The flowers are of exceptionally fine form and substance. The colour throughout the Standards and Falls is a clear pale lavender with a very slight suffusion of rose. It is very free flowering and, like all the Bliss hybrids of this class, increases quickly. The nearest colour in Ridgeway’s chart is pale ageratum violet. The beard is pale yellow, the haft and base of the Standards being slightly reticulated with a deeper tone, making its appearance nowhere else in the flower. (Wallace 1922)
