From AIS Bulletin #325 April 2002 Introducing SIMPLY DELICIOUS (Hager, '02) EM. 37" $40.00. Big, wide and ruffled in the Hager tradition, the individuality of this Iris is like no other. Almost a pattern-not a plicata or a luminata-but a new version of Glowing Color, almost iridescent. Lavender plum tones vary from pale lavender on the fall hafts to deep lavender on the edges of standards and falls alike. Eight to nine buds. Whitish lavender beards are pale yellow in the throat.
