Full Description

TB, EM 34″ (86 cm).
Midseason bloom. Color Code=W2V White ground with methyl-violet stitching, Moorish blue styles and crest. Sass 49-59 x ‘Dancing Waters’. Eden Road 1960. Honorable Mention 1961.

From Fleur de Lis Iris Catalog 1965 “Plic no 40-59 x Dancing Waters. Almost a pure white, this has a few minute specklings and sandings of blue around the throat. Its attraction is the rich blue style arms HM 1961.6.00.”
From Schreiner’s Iris Lovers Catalog 1967 “Highly individual…a plicata that could almost be called a “white plicata”. A few minute lightest specklings and dots of light violet, then nestled in the center of the flower is its main attraction – strikingly rich blue style arms and crests. Most unusual.
HM 1961.”
