From AIS Bulletin #205 April 1972 Introducing GOING My WAY '72. ML. 37". $25.00. A deep pansy violet banded plicata on a crisp snow white ground. Both standards and falls are broad and ruffled, having great substance. The large blooms measure 6" x 8". The crest is deeper color, highly serrated. The beard is bluish on the front half and orange on the back half. It was awarded an HC 1971. Long-lasting blooms. Very popular as a seedling #36-8A. Gibson's Iris Garden.
GOING MY WAY (Gibson)-a modern STEPPING OUT, but the purple band is even wider. Same show stalks. A purple plic that very nearly won the Dykes and should have. [Perry Dyer, “A Tall bearded Collection for the Beginner”, The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 237 (April 1980): 35-36.]
