(TB) 'And Thou'

1942, Graves

'And Thou' ( Robert Graves, R. 1939) TB. Midseason bloom. Color Class-B1L. 'Purissima' x 'Nêné'. HM 1942.

AND THOU (Graves 1942) M. This iris needs no "Jug of Wine'' in order to appreciate its unusual beauty of form and color. It is a self of palest Wedgewood blue with a deeper blue flush in the center of the bloom. The large flowers are rounded in form, of very heavy substance and great lasting qualities. The base of the beard is deep blue tipped white and is in keeping with the frosty sheen of the flower. Strong sturdy stalks with good branching. An iris of general admiration by garden visitors. H. C., A. I. S. 1941. R. 90 1941. 40 in. $20.00. [Fairmount Gardens Catalog. Summer 1942, Spring 1943, Lowell, Massachusetts]

AND THOU: That Wedgewood blue is a must-have with me. Mrs. C . B. Broddy. [“Varietal Comments,” The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 104 (January 1947): 82.]
