Full Description

TB 40″ L W2L

From Cooley’s Gardens catalog for 1944: “An entirely different plicata Clean, sparkling white with an all over pattern of clear blue stippling. The blue seems to be ‘peppered’ on the white background in an even manner, rather than the familiar buttonhole-stitch style. The flowers are extremely large and full. Certainly one of the most outstanding irises of the past two or three seasons.”
