Iris x pseudata 'Ally Oops' (ex: Jonthan Lehrer) – ​With light blue standards and falls, darker blue veining and bright yellow signals this is a lovely addition to the world of Iris. However, this is a changeable flower; some years flowers are apparently larger, some years the falls fade with more white in them still supporting bluer standards. In yet another year at Borglum's Iris Gardens the flower had more yellow in it. The flowering stalks mimic Iris sibirica types in some years and then can inexplicably form 2-way branching with extra buds. It almost seems that you can have several different irises for the price of one! It is certainly a chameleon of the iris world. The one constant... well, maybe two is that it is beautiful and its bloom period in the season of iris flowering is early-middle. Though this came to us from my good friend, Jonathan Lehrer, listed as an I. x pseudata Dana Borglum believes it may be a sterile sibirica and pseudacorus cross. The foliage certainly looks to be that of I. pseudacorus. But Mr. Borglum doesn't know with any certainty the parentage of 'Ally Oops'. It is named for the Borglums' youngest granddaughter, Ally, who at that time “was in a clumsy stage of her life.” Full to mostly sunny siting planted in fertile soil. Clumping. Moderate increase. Established potted Iris by division.
