INTERESTING INFO:
From the 1981 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: Iris fanciers exclaim over the unusual shading of this exotic blue-raspberry beauty set off by its maroon shoulders. Many collectors rate this variety after the hybridizer’s Mary Frances as his “next best” or “equal.” It must be good! Indeed colorful. Excellent form, good branching and slightly flaring falls.
