INTERESTING INFO:
From the 1958 Melrose Gardens Catalog: This iris will help reemphasize the long neglected Border iris. A very useful and delightful class of iris and this new blue gives us another really fine flower to plant out in front of the taller varieties. Broad flaring falls and domed standards in an especially good intense shade of medium blue. Big flowers; branched stems.
