Mary of Magdala

Velvety red-violet standards, much darker falls with violet streak at the end of a brownish-maroon beard. Deep brown spot around a dark brownish-violet beard. From Tuesday Song X Wilkes sdlg KBKG2: (Kalifa Baltis X Kalifa Gulnare). Excellent parent for sunfast reddish tones.

Throws all sorts of pinkish, pinkish-violet, and reddish-violet seedlings. May be a carrier for the tangerine pink, as well. A fully fertile halfbred that I recommend highly for beginners. As Gene told me at the time, it was "a colorful iris named after a very colorful lady". If you're not familiar with her story, consult the New Testament.
