References:

From Melrose Gardens catalog 1968: LILLIHOOG (Warburton). SDB size with colorand shape of its parent, I. hoogiana. It has been said in print that this one does not have aril characteristics. Whoever said it must not have seen I. hoogiona. The flower of this iris is almost identical to some selections of that species. So I. hoogiana ISN'T much, still you can't say IT doesn't have the "Aril Look"! 1.00.
