Cree Lady-(J. Hedgecock-2004)-Sdlg. F-69-M-TB-33"-L- We ran a contest in the garden last spring and asked our customers to help us name this iris. Virginia Golden of Dearborn, Missouri suggested the name Cree Lady. Our new Indian lady has lightly laced and ruffled medium purple standards with beige highlights at the upper edges. Falls are ruffled, laced and fluted creamy beige with purple markings at the beards. The beards are purple with yellow tips and turn yellow in the throat. Style arms match the falls. Mild sweet fragrance. A very unusual reverse bicolor that we feel has real charm. Agape Love X Unknown. $10.00 |
 |
Eliminator-(J. Hedgecock-2004)-Sdlg. H-64-1-TB-34"-EM- At last we have enough stock to introduce this unique new iris. To our knowledge, Eliminator is the first broken color iris in commerce with broken color flounces also. The basic color is varying shades of purple with irregular splashes and streaks of white. No two flowers are alike. Add to this the fact that it carries flounces that are also purple and white splashed. Stalks have 8 to 9 buds that are well spaced. Mild pleasant fragrance. A strong grower with generous increase. If you like the broken color irises, this one is a must have. Ensminger Seedling 86-17-1: (Purple Streaker X Go Around) X 83-68-1: (Mary O Mahoney X Going My Way). $10.00 |
 |
Everything Plus Horns-(J. Hedgecock-2004)-Sdlg. E-21-1-TB-33"-M- What happens when you cross Everything Plus to a horned plicata seedling. Of course, you get Everything Plus Horns. The ruffled standards are pale purple with white infusions at the midribs. Falls are ruffled white with medium purple plicata borders and striations at the beards. Beards are bright yellow and they end in 1/2" white and purple horns. Mild sweet fragrance. We will also tell you that Dave Niswonger loves it. You will too. Everything Plus X 83-68-2: (Mary O Mahoney X Going My Way). $10.00 |
 |
Hopi Trails-(J. Hedgecock-2004)-Sdlg.
G-71-1-TB-35"-M- We also extended our contest to this iris and we are so
glad we dd. Richard Sample of Saint Joseph, Missouri suggested this
name and we love it. The ruffled standards are medium red with yellow
overlays at the midribs. The ruffled and fluted falls are medium red
with orange yellow highlights. Beards are yellow orange. Many of
our customers have been asking when this one would be available. Show
stalks with 8 to 10 buds. Vigorous grower. Hopi Trails, our
latest Indian namesake. C-84-4-4, red bicolor, unknown, X C-83-13-1: (Hilow
X Lady Friend). |

Linda Darnell-(J. Hedgecock-2004)-Sdlg. JM-85-Unk-2-TB-34"-M- Lamoyne's sister's namesake is we think one of the best dark irises we have produced to date. The exquisite heavily laced and ruffled florets are stunning to see. The standards are dark blue. Falls are dark velour purplish blue with some blue striations at the gold beards that have blue bases. The falls also have a blue stripe that runs from the beards to the 3/4" blue marginal band. Pronounced sweet fragrance. This one just spells stardom. Parentage unknown. $10.00 |
 |
Manitou Skies-(J. Hedgecock-2004)-Sdlg. B-23-A-TB-37"-M- This beautiful space age iris placed 4th at the Loomis Test Gardens in Colorado Springs in 2002. Since it was so close to Manitou Springs and we liked the name Manitou, which means Great Spirit, we added skies and the rest is history. Our new creation is heavily ruffled violet blue with lighter areas at the beards. The falls are flaring and have slight tan areas near the gold beards that end in 1/2" blue violet horns. Mild sweet fragrance. Excellent stalks with 6 to 7 buds. Blue Luster X Sky Hooks. $10.00 |
 |
Perfect Storm-(J. Hedgecock-2004)-Sdlg. F-33-1-TB-35"-M- We loved this name and you will love our new dark purple creation. The color is plush dark purple with just a slight paling of the coloration at the dark purple beards. Wide modern form and stalks that carry 7 to 8 buds. Hearty, robust foliage that has near black leaf bases, which is a very attractive landscape plus. Sweet mild fragrance. The Perfect Storm has arrived. Beware. Dusky Challenger X Midnight Serenade. $10.00 |
 |
Plaza Lights-(J. Hedgecock-2004)-Sdlg. J.M.-96-TB-2-TB-32"-M- Our close friend Jim Emmons suggested the name for this iris. The Plaza in Kansas City is known all over the US for the upscale shopping district and the beautiful Christmas lighting season. This subtle yellow blend suits the name to a tee. The ruffled standards are butter yellow. Falls are laced and ruffled butter yellow with large white blazes at the yellow orange beards. Beards sometimes have short 1/2" horns. Mild sweet fragrance. This one will be a favorite in our yellow lines. Lost parentage. $10.00 |
 |
Pretty Perfect-(J. Hedgecock-2004)-Sdlg. G-47-1-TB-36"-M- We were really surprised when we looked up the parentage on this one. Lamoyne just hasn't done a lot of hybridizing. Her latest child is heavily laced and ruffled peach pink with lighter areas at the orange red beards. Perfect stalks with 8 buds. It does appear to be Pretty Perfect. Mayberry 84-4-5 X Tina Marie. $10.00 |
 |
Scarlet Arrow-(J. Hedgecock-2004)-Sdlg.
JM-85-6-C-TB-34"-M- This new iris was first place winner at the Loomis Test
Gardens in Colorado Springs in 2002. It is named for a famous Indian
Chief. The ruffled standards are medium red. Ruffled falls are
dark red with a velour finish. 1/2" dark red horns. Very good
stalks with 6-8 bud count. Our new chief will capture your heart.
