Whirlwind Tour

(McAllister, 1993)

White standards have some gold veining. Metallic gold falls have some rust veining on inner half and large, dark rust signal spot.

A fully functional halfbred from My Joy X Whirlwind Romance, with offspring already introduced and more in the pipeline.

For show aficionados, its ASI code is OGB+.

A strong grower, which tends to stay green over the summer like the ¼-breds. An enthusiastically fertile, functional halfbred, from half-bred X near-aril breeding that has already proven to be an excellent parent. Used with half-breds, it transmits its large, globular form. Crossed back to tetraploid arils, it has produced some striking patterns in lighter-than-usual tones. One of its offspring with Werckmeister's Beauty even has an emerald-green beard! Offspring of Whirlwind Romance that was in search of a name when I made a quick trip to Oklahoma that someone quipped was a "Whirlwind Tour". The phrase struck home and an iris was named.

For show aficionados, its ASI code is OGB+.
