From Fairmount catalog, 1955: LELA DIXON (G. Douglas 1949) E. We need blue plicatas that have a clear color pattern, good branching, and sturdy stalks that will not blow down at the slightest provocation, and this iris meets these requirements. A seedling of Blue Shimmer, it has lost the flexible stalk, but kept the color. The stalks have excellent branching. 36 in. $2.00.
