Full Description

TB 38″
From Schreiner’sIris Lovers Catalog 1974:”A topnotch white iris of high style. Perfectly proportioned, the ruffling and crimping run completely around each heavily substanced petal. The buds have a greenish cast which sustains in the open flowers and gives a beautiful undercast. All white even to the beard.'”
