INTERESTING INFO:
From the 1971 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: Have you ever leisurely and, yes, even lazily, contemplated the fleecy, tufted clouds passing in a summer sky? This iris, which we named Tufted Cloud, too, has that hard to describe serenity and, yet, belying its suggestion of delicateness, it is a pure white of sturdiest qualities. Beautifully formed, precisely tailored and lavishly ruffled, yet a robust flower with stiff stems and with four branches and 11 buds per stem.
