KILLARNEY WATERS 57-24B (Buttrick 1963) M.L. Clearness of color and beauty of form are united in this distinctive sea blue iris. It is a late flowering blue self that is deeper in color than Concord River and more blue than Galilee. The large firmly substanced blooms are Spectrum Blue (45/2) in color with roundly domed standards and arched flaring falls. The flowers are ruffled and fluted and are well displayed on four way branching sturdy stalks. South Pacific x (Bluebird Blue x Concord River). 36 in. $20.00
KILLARNEY WATERS (Buttrick ('63) We had heard wonderful things about this light blue iris and it lived well up to our expectations. The color is exceptionally pure, flowers are large, superbly formed and strongly, substanced.
