Description from Kamo Nursery website: Edo system middle crests The most bluish blue blooming six hexamorphoses flowers. The flower diameter is about 16 cm in the middle ring. In the progeny of "Huo Feng", the flower is even more blue, and it is said to be "the Mikawa Hachihashi", which is the closest to blue among the iris. The color starts dark at the beginning of bloom, and it gets thinner on the third day, but it still does not contain purple. It is a flower with a distinctive blueness that is different from other varieties so that it can be recognized as this breed even from afar. The plant height is a little low, it is about 60 cm or so. For the Blue Feng type, the breeding is quite good. Flowers are rather small, flower form is also one, but overall it is highly evaluated. In 1995, Kamo iris garden garden work.
