Hybridizer's Comment: A super Iris; one of our all time favourites. Standards are antique lemon on the outer 1/2" of petal and the inner is infused with light violet. Falls are bright blue-violet to rosy-violet, deepening to blue violet around the beards. It is so ruffled that much of the reverse of the falls shows on the ruffles. Beards are gold. It has good show stems. Proving to be a good parent.
