INTERESTING INFO:
From the 1975 Schreiner's Iris Lovers Catalogue: Pastel blended bicolor-plicata. Something different. Standards are pale, softly blended amber-cream & lavender. The flared and ruffled falls are white with a wide soft violet border with deeper plicata markings. Subtle and novel.

From the 1974 Tempo Two Iris Catalogue: A misty and beautiful pastel bi-colour plicata. Something new and completely lovely! Warm white standards, tightly closed. Falls are flared and ruffled warm white with a wide soft band of violet around the border, deepening toward the hafts. Will win at shows and an attention winner in any garden. Sister to Vaudeville.
