ORIGINATOR: Schreiner INTRODUCED: 1975 CLASS: Tall Bearded HEIGHT: 44" BLOOM SEASON: Mid to Late DESCRIPTION: Uniform-colored plicata; blue-violet on white ground; lemon yellow to white beard. PARENTAGE: Stepping Out X Port Royal AWARDS: HC'73, HM'76, AM'78 INTERESTING INFO: From the 1977 Schreiner’s Iris Lovers Catalog: Truly a paragon of beauty, our clean cut medium blue-violet plicata is a model grower. A cool tone of glacial white, the falls marked by a wire edging of blue-violet, the very full rounded broad petals open wide and flare elegantly to show deep throat, intensified by a pure spot of deep violet on the style arms. The ruffling and needlepointing of coloring is exquisite. Opening three flowers at one time, 8 to 9 buds. Supremely stylish, an exhibitor’s and connoisseur’s choice.
