From A Critical Evaluation of Older Iris, A.I.S. Bulletin 110:55/July 1948: (1948) Late flowering 'Charlotte Millet' is unique. A self of blue-lavender with high, domed standards and round, flaring falls, it has a strangely beautiful area in the center of the falls, an iridescent violet which changes to white in some lights, perhaps, because the falls are transparent, the color falling only in the shadows.

Synonyms

Doris (1936 garden-name, as listed in journal SNHF).
