INTERESTING INFO:
From the 1975 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: Truly a paragon of beauty, our clean cut medium blue-violet plicata is a model grower. A cool tone of glacial white, the falls marked by a wire edging of violet-blue, the very full rounded broad petals open wide and flare elegantly to show deep throat, intensified by a pure spot of deep violet on the style arms. Gold beard at the center of the flower. The standards are mainly white with a contrasting crisp 1" margin of medium blue-violet precisely marked. The ruffling and needlepointing of coloring is exquisite. Opening 3 flowers at one time, 8 to 9 buds. Supremely stylish, an exhibitor’s and connoisseur’s choice.
