INTERESTING INFO:
From the 1974 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: Dazzling bright—tantalizing fluted, lacy rounded pearly-white describes this bubbly, animated, stately satiny large white iris. The blooms are particularly globular and rounded in form, with lacy edges a twitter with life and movement. Each bloom is a model of beauty, sparked with the center heart a flashing bright red-tangerine beard. The full florets are borne nicely on 2 to 3 branched stems with an aggregation of 7 to 9 buds. True superlative quality.
