INTERESTING INFO:
From the 1939 Cayeux Iris Catalog: Of the plicata type, this variety is excessively floriferous, enourmous flower of beautiful form and good consistence. White ground entirely striated and granited of clear lilac mauve. Sweet and harming colour. Height 3 feet.
From the 1940 Fairmount Gardens Catalog: Truly an aristocrat among the blue toned plicatas. The ground color is white evenly dotted and traced with clear lilac mauve on both the standards and falls. The whole effect is a frosty French blue flower of large size and good proportion. The abundance of bloom and nicety of finish add to the attraction of this lovely iris. C. M., S. N. H. F. and Special Prize as one of the three best new irises in 1937.
