INTERESTING INFO: From the 1964 Schreiner’s Iris Lovers Catalog: This is essentially a white Iris in both standards and fall, strikingly picoteed an unbelievably rich deep violet. The bold effect resulting carries the plicata to new heights of contrast. The snow ground color – much larger in the standards than is customary – has handsome, glossy sheen, while the rich pansy-violet margining has a stylish ruffling that greatly enhances the beauty of the flower. The large blooms, held aloft with regal carriage and ideal, four-way branching, create a stunningly beautiful clump. Garden visitors unsling their cameras when STEPPING OUT catches their eye. A jewel for your garden. A tall Dot & Dash contrast-wise, clearer white standards. Stepping Out won Schreiner's their third Dykes Medal. |
