INTERESTING INFO:
From the 1970 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: In this remarkable flower we find massiveness and gracefulness uniquely combined. Massive because this bloom reaches the colossal size of 8 to 9 inches. Graceful because the copious, rounded petals are airily ruffled and in such splendid proportion it is a symphony of balance. Unique because it combines the exquisitness of soft tinted blue and snow white in a contrast medley of serene harmony. THere have been several of these light blue amoenas developed but when you see this variety you will agree that here is a superior achievement.
