ORIGINATOR: Schreiner INTRODUCED: 1965 CLASS: Tall Bearded HEIGHT: 37" BLOOM SEASON: Early to Mid DESCRIPTION: S. pure white, lilac-rose margin; F. white, same lilac-rose edging, pink plicata. PARENTAGE: (Bright Contrast x Flying Saucer) X (Bright Contrast x Harlequin) AWARDS: HM'66 INTERESTING INFO: From the 1965 Schreiner's Iris Lovers Catalog: Lavender Sparkle is a pink lavender plicata that from a distance of eight feet carries the closest to pink of any modern plicata we are familiar with. The frosty white flowers picoteed with just a clean edging of lilac rose have a delicate tracery that reminds one of Rosy Veil but in a larger flower.
