Louisiana Iris 'Ann Chowning' native American wildflower - Iris

The Iris 'Ann Chowning' produces vibrant wine-colored flowers with lemon highlights. The velvety flowers grow to about six inches long and they bloom between spring and summer. Since it was introduced in 1976, the Iris 'Ann Chowning' has won the Mary Swords DeBaillon Medal twice - in 1980 and 1986 - the only one to ever win more than once. The Mary Swords DeBaillon Medal is the highest award for an iris bestowed by the Society for Louisiana Irises.

It's named in honor of the well-known Louisiana hybridizer Frank Chowning's daughter: Martha Ann Chowning (1929-2016).
