From Mission Gardens catalog, 1960: FATHER RIGNEY (Mission Gardens 1956) Very large, dark violet. Beard is violet, tipped white. High up on the "shoulders" of the falls, on either side, where standards and falls meet there is a dark brown blotch which adds interest and beauty to this richly colored iris. The stems are tall, perfectly straight and well branched. The flowers have excellent form, high standards and broad flaring falls. The substance of the flowers is extra good, very firm and crisp, giving the flowers that long lasting quality. Exceptionally vigorous grower. Height 42 inches. $6.00
