INTERESTING INFO:
From the 1982 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: Straight from Minnesota—"the land of sky blue waters". The rich blueness of this marvelous sapphire captures the sparkling purity of that region. Here is a paramount blue Iris among several of the fine blue Iris we have successfully achieved. Add a light ruffling andone has the panoramic affect of blue water rippling against the sky. This Iris couples beauty with stamina. Its well substanced flowers are ideally branched on robust ramrod stems with 7 to 8 buds. A truly delightful Iris!
