[[InfoNoveltyIris][Novelty Irises]] "Giant size has had strong appeal to many iris enthusuasts. [[TbPthruT.TbSpringSunshine]['Spring Sunshine']] from Milliken in 1947 started the trend and more recent irises have continued it. Schreiner's [[TbFthruJ.TbGiantRose]['Giant Rose']] attracted many fanciers; Babson's [[TbAthruE.TbDjinn]['Djinn']] and his [[TbAthruE.TbEpic]['Epic']], the parent of the Dykes Medal winning [[TbPthruT.TbShipshape]['Shipshape']], have satisfied megalomania."--Ben Hager, The World of Irises 1978.
