A blue black bitone of large size and delightful form. Even bitone finished, as the blue black standards are very satiny and the purple black falls are like black velvet. H.M. 1960. 3.00.
A good dark violet bitone that has good branching and substance, and which is liked by all who see it. [Hildenbrandt, Hildenbrandt, Lester (1965). Irises for a Beginner, American Iris Society Bulletin, 177 (April 1965), 27. American Iris Society Bulletin, 177(April 1965), 27.]
