Glen Road 1936, Nesmith 1937; Calling Me (Sturt 1936) An appealing iris of pale lavender-blue with dainty arching standards and flaring circular falls. The whole flower has a cool satiny finish and the orange beard gives added brilliance. Sweetly scented and of great garden value. 3 feet. [Reynolds, Laura C., "Grace Sturtevant's Irises," Iris Chronicals #12 (Sturtevant), The American Iris Society, 11.]
Calling Me. A lovely blue iris with S. well arched and F. standing straight out. To see it is to covet it. The beard is orange tipped primrose. [Mrs. Herman E. Lewis, "Varietal Notes 1938", A.I.S. Bulletin 72 (January 1939): 11.]
