From an oncobred and tall bearded line, this is a very lovely and most unusual iris. The flowers are very large and of a most unusual shade of greenish yellow or amber with a lavender blue flush over the falls. The blue flush is almost a powdered on overlay and a few near invisible stitchings and veinings are present on the falls. Heavy substance and smooth finish . Stock limited this year. Net 1.00.
