INTERESTING INFO:
From the 1969 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: The first time we saw this iris in our trial rows we were delighted with its fairy-like, magical appeal. It has likewise stood the test of several seasons appraisal. Immaculate whiteness and refined form are a perfect setting for the dainty, delicate dew drop orchid which suffuses the falls of this charming amoena. An exquisite, refined iris done with the delicacy of an artist's stroke. A gem for the discriminating iris fancier.
