From Sturtevant Glen Road Iris Garden catalog, 1920: MANDELAYâ Not unlike Caterina but with us, erect, and a better grower. The flowers, carried high on the well-branched stalks, appear almost small in proportion to the height; the plant is delightful in mass effect but its unique quality lies in the fresh, waterlily fragrance of the blooms. 42 in. |
