ORIGINATOR: Schreiner INTRODUCED: 1974 CLASS: Tall Bearded HEIGHT: 35" BLOOM SEASON: Early to Mid DESCRIPTION: Marine violet-blue self; self beard; ruffled. PARENTAGE: T 480-AA: (L 474-J x R 632-B) X Y-64A: (Sterling Silver x R 536-2) AWARDS: HM'75, AM'77 INTERESTING INFO: From the 1977 Schreiner’s Iris Lovers Catalog: A truly magnificent Iris, no doubt the most ruffled and fluted indigo-blue Iris available. A rare exquisite creation with the happy combination of deep indigo-blue crisp, flaring florets. The fluting and ruffling give a distinct personality to the flower and it literally seems to “strut.” This elegantly formed, large flowered dark blue beards three branches with 9 to 12 buds with a long blooming season.
