Full Description

TB 34″ M-L

From Fleur de Lis Gardens catalog for 1962: “A large ruffled plicata with a white ground and markings of burgundy red. Very showy.”

From Schreiner’s Iris Lover’s catalog for 1966: “A light-hearted air surrounds this personable plicata. The gracefully ruffled flowers are edged a shade of rose lavender with the large white center of the falls giving a most effective contrast. Standards are more intensely shaded this same color. Very broad flowers, very fine growing habits.”

(Snow Flurry x Orchid Queen) X (Snow Flurry x Gibson Girl)), HM 1957.
