INTERSTING INFO: From the 1937 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: We believe that intermediate iris, which bloom from tulip-time to the tall-bearded season, deserve a great deal more attention the public has given them. It can readily be imagined how desirable it would be to have over two weeks of bloom added to the glory we now enjoy. Improvements on this frontier of iris development are not rapid, however, because of inherit difficulties involved in crossing the dwarfs and the tall-bearded sorts. In Andalusian Blue (Sensation x Petit Daniel) we have secured a color previously unknown in the intermediate section: a fine sky-blue similar to Sensation, which variety it also resembles in form, texture and branching. We are releasing only a few roots of this variety this season and will be interested in hearing reports of their performance in other sections of the country.
Andulusian refers to something of origin to Andalusia, the southern region of Spain.
