INTERESTING INFO:
From the 1953 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: The happy combination of Chivalry x Distance yielded this silvery, clear, light blue Iris. Of the classic form of Chivalry wih the silver cast of Distance, this is a garden Iris par excellence.
Webmaster Note: There is some discrepancy whether this Iris, along with Flying Saucer, was introducted in 1950 or 1953. There is no mention of it in any catalog until 1953, but it was not included in the New Introduction section of the catalog, instead appearing in the general listing. It is possible that Schreiner's was selling it locally in 1950, similar to Janice. A spokesperson from Schreiner's Iris Gardens stated that the original records at the headquarters indicated that it was registered and introduced in 1950.
