From AIS Bulletin #209 April 1973 Introducing DELLE MOFFETT (1973) B-221. E-M; 32". Tall $25.00. (Amethyst Flame x Morning Breeze) X Sea of Stars. This is a large flower-a medium blue self. I know the world is full of blue irises, but hopefully there is room for another. This is a satisfying iris to grow-the plant is vigorous, the branching is excellent (3 to 4), the flowers are quite attractive and it has a uniformity of growth and bloom habit that exceeds any other iris I have grown in my garden. Each stalk carries 9-12 large flowers beautifully spaced, to give fine show stalks. Dr. Howard Moffett is the Director of the Presbyterian Hospital in Taegu, South Korea, and his wife Delle is an ardent irisarian who has planted our irises and daylilies in South Korea for many years. I am happy to be able to name this iris for her. Clarence Blocher.
