INTERESTING INFO: From the 1971 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: Without question here is the bluest iris we have introduced and visitors who have viewed it concur in this conviction. A most beautiful shade of medium blue, literally colored as the heaven's own blue, it is a real masterpiece in color and form and a vigorous grower, as well. The ramrod stiff stems bear 3 to 4 at time. The blue monochromatic shading and pleasant ruffles combine beautifully and artfully giving each bloom a lovely flair. Our garden notes read "terrific color." We feel this iris will become one of the peerless blues in America's iris gardens. HC'70
