From Nicholls Gardens catalog, 1992: CAPITOL DANDY (Ackerman 92) Japanese Iris JI Seedling D4 (8-841 Single (3 falls). Early 33". A delightful iris of very soft pale lavender-pink. Darker veining shows nicely against the lavender-pink falls and stands. There is a slight mosiac of the vein color around the bright yellow signal. The stylearms are a darker lavender-pink giving this a bitone look. To complete the picture of this dandy, the arching falls are held out with a pleasing flair. Capitol Dandy is also pictured in Plate No. 24 of THE JAPANESE IRIS. $35.00.
