| 2010 Pseudata Introductions | ||
| from Hiroshi Shimizu | ||
| This year I have to let the pictures do the talking for the introductions. Some of my notes on height, bud count and bloom season are misplaced, and so that information will have to be added to these descriptions when the plants bloom again about mid June. I love the translations Mr. Shimizu has provided for each variety. | ||

KARYU fire-dragon This ruffled beauty has fascinated me each year it has bloomed. The large bright yellow signals surrounded by red eyelashes really attract attention and are further set off by the wide deep red purple styles. $35.00 |   | |
  |
SUNADOKEI sand-glass A bright lemon yellow lightly sanded with red really lights up in the garden. The sanded color pattern shows the influence of the I. ensata parentage. $35.00 | |
|
TAKAMAGAHARA heaven of the legend Somewhat similar to Take No Sato, this very nice plant is a light lavender with a strongly contrasting signal. Its foliage occasionally grows with accordion folding. $25.00 |  | |
 |
UMIBOTAL firefly on the sea Umibotal is the deepest purple seedling I have grown from Mr. Shimizu. The color is a great combination with the more prevalent yellows and whites. $35.00 | |
|
YASHA the female devil Can't you just see the eyes of a devil in this flower? The color changes dramatically as the flower opens giving a lovely contrast on the clump of many different shades. Also note the thin dark edge surrounding the falls. $35.00 |   | |
  |
YUKIYANAGI willow in the snow Can I introduce a third white with a purple eyelash pattern? The answer has to be yes! Yukiyanagi blooms at a height of 48-50". The foliage is also tall and vigorous. Numerous buds are held on the terminal plus two branches, and the clump was in bloom from early to late in the season. $35.00 | |
