INTERESTING INFO:
From the 2010 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: Often in Iris breeding one good cross leads to a myriad of excellent progeny. In our 2007 catalog we offered the serene sapphire gem named Into the Blue. Now we simply cannot refrain from introducing its sibling. Dodger Blue is a more intensely tinted peacock blue self. Sturdy stems handily hold aloft 7-9 buds of its colossal flowers even in inclement weather.
