President Pilkington
Cayeux, 1931

TB 40" ML S6L, From National Iris Gardens catalog for 1938: "Very huge flower, being a lovely pastel blend of lavender, blue, buff, yellow and rose, with striking gold beard. Outstanding French award winner."

Comments: "This was a noid until I saw it growing at Dave Silverberg's garden in Oregon. Foliage is deeply PBF (purple-based foliage) and is one of it's best features. A clump of this is just stunning. It is very common in Olympia - I see it all over the city." - Mike, WA 		iris president pilkington
