EVADNE (1921)

TB-M-R7D

Diadem x (Queen of May x Cordelia)

I cannot praise too highly this very beautiful iris. It is a plant of great vigour, and to my mind has no fault. The foliage as well as the colour of the flowers being particularly beautiful. The flowers are very fine in shape, with spreading falls of exceptional substance set on strong well branched stems of 3½’ [[105cm] high. The colour is a warm rosy-bronze red, several tones paler than Peerless. Deliciously scented , this glorious iris is attracting a great deal of attention.
