My understanding is that Marriott hybridized it, but was going into specializing in daylilies and was no longer interested in iris. Joe Ghio must have been growing the seedling and wanted Marriott to introduce it and got permission to do so himself. This was the last introduction of Marriott's seedlings and it won him the Dykes.
