KEITH KEPPEL IRIS

IMMACULATE HEART (Keppel 2022) ML 40” ((Arrivederci x Volcanic Glow sib) X ((Telepathy x Moonlit Water) x Montmartre))  # 13-32B

The distinctive part of a luminata pattern is the unmarked patch around the beard. Here we have a larger than usual pure white heart surrounding the white-ended beard. Standards are upright, ruffled, and touching, a lightly greyed cream color. Rosy violet falls with slightly lighter and bluer veining and narrow blue grey edge, even a faint trace of light lace at the distal end, and just a touch of yellow on the hafts. The first seedlings to bloom from Immaculate Heart look promising, and if you aren’t already a luminata devotee, be prepared to convert. $40.00
