From the 1988 Schreiner's Iris Lovers Catalog: Our most distinctive seedling last year! Note the rhythmic cadence in our photograph above left. The emphasis here is on the interplay of very ruffled flower form coupled with a novel blending of shades of blue and white. These blue-violet flowers are streaked with swirling white etching like a cloud kissed evening sky. The extra strong stems offer three finely spaced branches and a spur, with 10 buds.
