From Schreiner’s catalog, 1962: ALPINE BLUE (Schreiner 1962) EM. 36". Looking as if sprinkled with diamond dust, this silvery light blue iris is a perfectionist's dream. With a pale yet intensely blue coloring, with precisely sculptured classical form, and with the utmost refinement in all its parts. It is even more exquisite than the ethereal Salem from which it is derived. As one studies it, its loveliness increases. Singled out by the judges at the National Iris Convention in Oregon in 1960. Perfect form, 3 flowers open at once. Illustrated below. Sdg. 548-A. $20.00.
