Description
Pierre Menard CloseUp. The Beauty of Irises by Jenny Rainbow.
Tall Bearded Iris 'Pierre Menard'
Photograph taken in Pruhonice park, Iris collection of botanic garden. Prague, Czech Republic. May 2018
From Schreiner's Iris Lover's catalog for 1952: "A magnificent new rich blue. The slightly open standards are a Hyacinth blue, the falls a Campanula violet with a canary yellow beard giving an effective foil. In effect, a rich deep blue. One of the finest new Iris."
Cooley s Gardens catalog for 1948: A tall and huge golden flame-salmon blend, almost a red, but with so much of the gold influence in it that it is not really a red Iris. You have seen the sun look much like this just before it sinks over the horizon. Both standards and falls are extra large and the haft and beard are bright golden yellow. A most impressive flower, blooming early on widely branched stalks reaching 42 inches.
It won an Honorable Mention and then the Presidents Cup at the AIS convention in 1949, and went on to win an Award of Merit in 1951.
