References:

From Keith Keppel Iris catalog, 1984: SWIRLING SEAS (Gatty '84) E 36" (Full Tide X Five Star Admiral). Big and blocky flowers of marine blue, heavily ruffled as the name implies. Style arms match the petal color, whereas the beards are blue white, lightly tipped with lemon. Moderate branching and bud count are more than compensated for by the voluptuousness of the individual blossoms. #K87-1 25.00.
