Of such spontaneous appeal it was runner-up for President's Cup the year it was introduced. Yes, it's exotic & quite different. A distinctive blend of lilac blue and greenish brown, with a matching olive-tipped brown beard. A connoisseur's Iris that defies comparison. Mata Hari x Black Forest X White Wedgewood. JC'59.
