Full Description

TB 36″ M-L

From Cooley’s Gardens catalog for 1976: “This giant white is now being acclaimed as one of the best in its class. It is huge in size, the billowy, broad petals smartly tailored, the falls especially broad and rounded. Fairly late.”

From Schreiner’s Iris Lover’s catalog for 1981: “We wonder why this superb white Iris has not been acknowledged more in present day Iris literature. The first time we saw it, we were thrilled with its immaculate whiteness and refined form. In our experience, this ranks as one of the finest white Iris. It has wonderful plant habit and is beautifully formed. We endorse this superb Iris unequivocally.”
