References:

From Marx Gardens catalog, 1955: GIANT BLUE BUTTERFLY (Marx 1954) Each $7.50 Selected from our Higo Butterfly Series four years ago for propagation. The immense ruffled flowers, measuring up to 11 inches, are white stippled sky blue. The white styles also tipped blue. Three foot stems each produce 4 to 5 flowers in midseason. Of opulent proportions yet exceedingly dainty and refined we do not believe this bewitching iris will be superseded in its color class for a long time.
