INTERESTING INFO:
From the 1948 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: New soft medium-blue with a silvery tone, smooth and velvety, clear colored. It lacks nothing in branching, poise or growth. It will rank as one of the best Iris in its class. Described as a cornflower-blue, a self with a clean haft and good substance. We are very impressed with this new mid-blue.
