INTERESTING INFO: From its Introductory 1958 Iris Lover's Catalog: Not since the color break achieved in the creation of the flamingo pinks has ther been such excitement in the Iris world as has been occasioned by the arrival of the crinkled type of Iris such as Carmela, Limelight, Crinkled Ivory, etc., some of which have ben in almost unprecedented demand. It seemed to us that the ethereal quality imparted by this fragile laciness of form would reach its pinnacle of exquisitiveness when a pure white crinkled Iris was produced. This happy day arrived when WHIR OF LACE first bloomed. And this is the Iris we chose for our front cover as arranged so photogenically by Carl Starker. WHIR OF LACE is everything we had hoped for in perfection of beauty, crystalline purity, and exquisite charm. An Iris of ideal size for arrangements, it is fragile as gossamer, lacy as a bridal veil, and snow as angel's wing. A gem indeed for the ultra-connoisseur. $25.00
