Awaiting original catalog description
BLUE BLAZES (Welch) "A big medium blue that is impressive because of its size, but it somehow seems a little coarse. It has a yellow beard and a white area around the haft. The color is nice but somehow it just misses distinction." [Jesse E. Wills (Tennessee), “Varietal Comment, Irises Seen in Nashville” The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 123, (October 1951): 71.]
From Iris Test Garden Catalog, 1955: BLUE BLAZES. (Welch '50). M. (B-50: (Gudrun x Easter Morn) x (Great Lakes). Lovely, tall, clean, smooth blue with quality written all over it. Superb blood for blues and whites. H.C.'49, H.M.'51. $3.50
