INTERESTING INFO:
From the 2003 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: Early in the bloom season, this beauty will draw you in for a closer look. It has a big wide flower with a crisp contrast of icy white over a deep marine blue. Note how the standards are infused with a lighter blue at their base. It's a fast grower with excellent bloom vigor; 7-8 buds grace three branches. This pleasant combination of cool hues will bring a breath of the north to any spring garden.
