References:

From Sam Carpenter Garden catalog, 1927: LADY BYNG (Bliss) A very beautiful Iris. The flowers are of exceptionally fine form and substance. The color throughout is a clear pale lavender with a slight suffusion of rose. Very free flowering and increases quickly. The rhizomes of this variety, like those of Susan Bliss. and some other varieties, are very small. I suppose there is a strain of Cengialti blood in their ancestry which is responsible for the small size of the rhizomes. $2.50.
From Indian Spring Farms catalog, 1927: LADY BYNG (Bliss 1922). A sister Seedling of Susan Bliss, a beautiful flower of fine form and substance. The color throughout is clear, pale lavender, slightly darker than Mlle. Schwartz, suffused with rose. Vigorous in growth, a free bloomer, and increases quickly. 36 inches.
