Blue-orchid bitone, almost an amoena, with a red-tangerine beard. Three branches plus a terminal display 7 to 9 large, well-formed blooms on a sturdy stalk. A vigorous grower and increaser and excellent parent, both pod and pollen. This near red-white-and-blue beauty is named for my beloved aunt of Wasco, California, one of the grand ladies of Irisdom.
