Ambassadeu sieht nicht so aus. Die Beschreibung aus HIS, die ich zitiert hatte:
"From Cornell Extension Bulletin 112, 1925: "Color effect a smoky bronze, dark velvety maroon bicolor blend. S. hyssop violet with antimony yellow overcast, finely dotted brown. F. very velvety violet-carmine, with beard conspicuous orange, brown specked. An exceptionally tall, widely branched, and late bloomer.
It is unexcelled in its class for size of bloom. Rating 94."
From Robert Wayman, 1932: "In a popularity vote of the American Iris Society, Ambassadeur proved to be by far the most popular iris in the world, receiving 111 votes against 88 for its next nearest competitor, only eleven varieties receiving more than 50 votes. The decision was therefore overwhelming. It is a gigantic flower, of rich coloring, perfect form, good texture, on stout, erect stems. There is a blending of colors that makes any description inadequate. It is a dark blend, but placed where the sun's rays show through it, the effect is a rich ruby-red."

Comment: "So hard to take an accurate picture of it, flower itself does not change color, but depending upon the light and the time of day it looks so different in photos..not a purple, not a red, not a bronze, but all these colors combined...a really 'enjoyable' iris." - Laetitia, NJ"
Historic Iris Society Das Bild aus der Veröffentlichung 1945 ist eine gute Referenz.
