References:

From Carl Salbach catalog 1946: DESERT SKIES (Salbach 1945) , (Brunhilde x Shining Waters). Most of the blue iris are violet or lavender blues. Desert Skies comes nearer being a real blue than any we have seen. In addition to this the blooms are of good size and heavy substance and there are many on each stalk. We have counted as many as 17 blooms and buds on a single stalk. The standards are a deep chickory blue and the falls somewhat deeper in color. An exceptionally free bloomer. Very sweet scented. Well branched. 36-inch stalks. Mid-season. $5.00.
