From AIS Bulletin #237 April 1980 Introducing SOCIAL BUTTERFLY (Don Denney, 1980). TB, M, 32". When I first started hybridizing, I thought, "Why can't you combine the wonderful things that Larry Gaulter is doing in Castro Valley with the great things Jim Gibson is doing in Porterville?" After the seedlings appeared, I found it wasn't that easy. SOCIAL BUTTERFLY is the best to date from a program of breeding for softer-toned, tangerine-bearded plicatas. This one is a red, white and blue iris- all in soft tints- and has proven useful in a program of breeding pink plics.
