From AIS Bulletin #194 July 1969 Introducing Betty Sherrill $25.00. (1969) No. B-172 (Amethyst Flame X Morning Breeze).This is a large, pale lavender flower. The coloring is most feminine, but its broad falls, heavy substance and vigor of growth are everything one could desire in an iris. Beautifully branched stem has six to seven large blooms. Wonderful pod parent, has pollen occasionally. This is the finest of several beautiful seedlings bloomed from this cross, and other seedlings of this same pedigree have produced some of our most interesting flowers to date. About 32-34" in height.
