From AIS Bulletin #261 April 1986 Introducing DRESS BLUES-TB 30" M-L Sdlg. 80-20-1. Ruffled Cherub X Babbling Brook. We had hoped for a BB from this cross but we are happy with this long blooming, rich medium blue. Nice full ruffled form, heavy substance, 2 and 3 branches plus spur, multiple buds, all nicely proportioned. $20.00. Kirkland Iris Garden.
