(TB) 'Blue Luster'

1973, Brown

'Blue Luster' ( Opal Brown, R. 1973). Sdlg. 70-1E4. TB, 38" (97 cm), Midseason bloom. Standards blue (between RHS 93C and D), ruffled; Falls violet-blue; blue beard. 'Bluebell Lane' X 'Violet Favor'. Brown's Sunnyhill Gardens 1973.

BLUE LUSTER (0. Brown '73), in my opinion a true masterpiece. I must have had my back turned at the wrong time that year, as I didn't obtain it when it was introduced so had to be satisfied viewing it in other gardens-and how hard that was on me! It is a deep, somehow warm, tone of blue with beards of the same color, and as you're drawn close to it you pick up its lovely fragrance. Although a little short in my garden, 1975 was a happier year because I had it growing there. [James McWhirter, “Reflections and Anticipations,” The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, Vol. 57, No. 221 (April 1976): 8.]
