INTERESTING INFO:
From the 1995 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: This navy blue's petals have a bouncy lilt, like the rolling rapids of Oregon's Rogue River. See this special bubble ruffle flower form. Excellence in color, substance and bloom traits (6 to 8 flowers per stem) combine to mark Rippling River as a milestone in blue hybridizing.
