From Keith Keppel’s catalog for 1977: “Early, but hard, is the frost, for the foliage is almost completely obscured by the icy white blossoms. It is the mass effect, as encountered with miniature dwarfs, that sets this white apart.”
From Riverdale Iris Gardens catalog for 1982: “Broad white self. Beards yellow in throat.”
