(TB) 'Crystal Blue'

1964, Schreiner

'Crystal Blue' ( Schreiner, R. 1964) Sdlg. S-573-C. TB, 37" (94 cm), Late bloom. Frosty glacial blue self; deeper in borders. 'Galilee' X ((( 'Pierre Menard' x ( 'Blue Rhythm' x 'Chivalry')) x 'Harbor Blue'). Schreiners 1964. Honorable Mention 1965.

CRYSTAL BLUE (Schreiner '64) is another vigorous iris which produced six increases for us the first year. It is the deepest pure blue that we've seen. The flowers are huge and somewhat tailored. [Joseph Ghio, “The 1965 Iris Season in Review,” Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 179 (October 1965): 80.]

CRYSTAL BLUE (Schreiner '64). This selection maintains merit in a crowded grouping due to three important traits-frosty, crystalline color, impeccable, flaring form, and late season of bloom. A direct descendent of 'Galilee', this blue further rewards one with a husky stem and plant. A variety not receiving proper plaudits and easily the finest late bloomer in medium blue. Primary fault-cannot seem to reach prescribed height consistently. [Roger R. Nelson, “Your More Music Survey,” The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 197 (April 1970): 8.]
