INTERESTING INFO: From its Introductory 1965 Schreiner's Iris Lover's 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.
