From Schreiners Iris catalog, 1947: CHOIR BOY (Schreiner 1947) L. 34". A very late blooming amoena with a noteworthy styling to the flower. The wave and light ruffle of the petals are reminiscent of lapping waves. The flowers are medium sized, milk white standards that soon pale to clear white, falls a shade of deep bluet without the purple tinge. The illustration on page 6 gives an excellent idea of the individual flower. The stems are not tall, the branching fairly short as are most amoenas. It is a variation in color pattern. Parentage is (King Juba x Dorothy Dietz) x Cantabile. It sets seed and yields pollen better than most amoenas. Price, each $7.50.
