ORIGINATOR: Schreiner INTRODUCED: 1942 CLASS: Tall Bearded HEIGHT: 38" BLOOM SEASON: Mid to Late DESCRIPTION: S. light blue; F. bluish-purple; yellow beards, fragrant. PARENTAGE: Madame Maurice Lassailly x Winneshiek AWARDS: HM'45 INTERESTING INFO: From the Schreiner's 1942 Iris Lover's Catalog: Remarkable classic, rich , high finished bicolor of high quality, an eloquent blue bicolor. While it does not have quite the sharpness of Amigo in color it has essentially the same color pattern of lovely light sky blue standards and rich plush-blue purple without veining or other detracting mars. Its contrast of color and rich orange beard adds to its lovely symphony of color. Generally large iris are not rich in color, but this has luster, size and stem habit - striking both for beauty and size.
