Full Description

TB M 37″
From Schreiner’s Iris Lovers Catalog 1988 its introduction year:
“Our most distinctive seedling last year! Note the rhythmic cadence in our photograph. The emphasis here is on the interplay of very ruffled flower form coupled with a novel blending of shades of blue and white. These blue violet flowers are streaked with swirling white etching like a cloud kissed evening sky. The extra strong stems offer three finely spaced branches and a spur, with 10 buds.
