From AIS Bulletin #161, April 1961. Introducing LAVENDER FROST-(Fay 51-40 X Fay 49-39), 32", M-L. A beautifully ruffled, lightly laced flower with domed standards and semi-flaring falls. The color is a smooth medium lavender in the standards; falls are the same color on the edges, gradually lightening to an iridescent white around the deep tangerine beard. Standards and falls are both overlaid with a sparkling sheen. The stalk is sturdy with three branches and a terminal, the plant is vigorous, and the flowers well-substanced and long lasting. We know of no other iris on the market with just this combination of lavender and white with tangerine beard. LAVENDER FROST comes from pink X white breeding, and throws all colors from pink to magenta when bred with pink. It gives whites with red beards first generation when bred with them. $20.00. Sheaff.
