Re: Does anyone know who the Hybridnizer of

Princess Viktoria Luise is? Also what the date would be? I have "her" but during the move lost my tag and can't remember if I had anyone listed on it or not.
Thanks

Went to the database and there is iris listed with that name. Even checked under just Princess.

There is an entry for PRINZESS VIKTORIA LUISE. No info with it, so that might mean it is an historic? There are so many different spellings for this lady. Also an Oriental poppy of that name.

See if someone has access to older checklists. Certainly from the spelling it is of European origin.

PRINCESS VICTORIA LOUISE TALL BEARDED
VILM 1938.
ALSO SPELLED >PRINZES VICKTORIA LUISE
1939 AMERICAN IRIS SOCIETY CHECK LIST
List no color

In the 1939 & other older check lists there are symbols for color which are listed somewhere (I think) in the front.

listed as Y9L
that says in the front it will be a bitone yellow with pink to red tones
D

it in here under differnt names and spelling
here is the right one
PRINZESS VIKTORIA LUISE - INTERMIDITE iRIS
introduced by G&K = GOOS & KOENEMMANN 1910
Color Y9L = LIGHT YELLOW BI -TONE

Thanks to everyone.
I knew it was a historical, very similar to Loreley and also same hybridnizer, which I also have. I brought those two from my grandmother's home. I was spelling Prinzess wrong.

Please post a picture when you get bloom so we can learn another historic. Thanks!!

yes please need it for the plant files

I think Boojum has a pic. I'll invite her over.

Hi all,
I have nice clump of PVL, 1910 that was here when I moved here. Here's a pic.

Lovely!

Thanks

I got Loreley last year, so can't wait to see that one too.
