References:
| From the Introductory 1942 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: Lovely royal blue with beard the same color. These two varieties (along with Carpathia) are selected from hundreds of seedlings raised from seed, collected and sent to us from Rumania. |
| From the 1955 Lloyd Austin Rainbow Hybridizing Gardens Catalog: A true miniature; one of the 4 known forms of Pumila; sought by every breeder of Dwarfs. A midget, only 4" high. A deep violet blue self with a blackish violet area like a black signal around lilac-blue beard. Even the pollen is blue. It is believed all blue Dwarfs stemmed from Sulina or some other similar form. So this is a collector's item for any dwarf hybridizer. |
