From Schreiner’s Iris catalog, 1949: HONOLULU BELLE (Becherer 1949) ML. 38". Development in self blues has been remarkable and in the dark selfs there have been a number of worthy additions. A color class that has suffered neglect by comparison is the sharply contrasted blue bicolors. Every garden should have a specimen clump of this handsome pattern. Honolulu Belle with its light blue lilac standards and rich, velvety deep blue falls with velvet sheen is a pattern of luxuriant beauty. In addition to its brilliant color pattern this Iris has branching of perfect candelabra placement. Quite in contrast to the general bunching of similarly colored Iris. It is very much worthwhile and more individual than the prosaic word bicolor suggests. We recommend this beauty highly. $10.00.
