Hybridizer's Comment: One of those iris that is bound to become a classic. Standards are lavender blue, slightly deeper at the midribs. Falls are a soft silvery blue, deepening to lavender blue at hafts. Beards white tipped lemon and muted. Form is exquisite and although there are rarely more than 2 flowers out at once per stem, they are so beautifully balanced and formed that it is bound to win on the show bench. lt is a sister to 'Never Been Kissed'. |
