From Edenwald Gardens catalog, 1957: BROADRIPPLE (W. E. Buss '52). M.38". Largest and broadest petaled iris ever developed. The 3-1/2 inch falls measure 2 inches at the haft; the standards but little less. So full and voluminous, yet so proportionate and refined in ensemble and so softly colored, that there is no appearance of coarseness or gigantism. Soft aster-blue color, lighter in the center, the substance is remarkable, the branching just right and the sturdy stalk fortunately strong enough to support the weight of the luxuriant flowers. A remarkable and outstanding iris. Pictare on page 2 does not do it justice. $3.00
