INTERESTING INFO:
From the 1983 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: "Wow!" "So Beautiful!" "What ruffles!" were the unadorned comments of so many when viewing this sparkler's wondrous blossoms at the Denver Iris Convention '82. This is without a doubt our finest light blue Iris. Not only is it elegantly ruffled with bubbles and billows galore but it is also such a fully broad fresh sea blue self. The copiously flowered stem with spaced branched of 8 to 9 buds makes this gorgeous dazzler even more exciting. If you seek a top notch light celestial blue Iris this is it!
