INTERESTING INFO:
From the 1970 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: Large and broad petaled, this matchless, laced and ruffled, orchid iris commands primacy even by the severest critic. The lavishly ruffled florets have great substance. It is one of the most ruffled of iris, yet it opens perfectly. Florets are beautifully poised on stiff, branched stems. Actually it is far more beautifully and airily poised than the illustration above suggests - a most arresting quality. One of the finest orchid iris it has been our pleasure to find in our seedling trials. A beauty, indeed. Received Highly Commendation Award from AIS 1969.
