RICHMOND — (No. 23, 1933). The ground color of this marvelous- 
ly beautiful variety is difficult to define, as it does not exactly 
match any of the color plates in Ridgeway’s Color Chart. Its 
rich lustrous color closely approaches Royal Purple, and Dark 
Violet coming about half way between these two colors. Some 
of the flowers are lightly mottled and splashed with light pink, 
prominent orange color at base of petals. Richmond is by far the 
richest colored Japanese Iris I have ever seen.
