Millet et Fils, irises and new peonies 1930-1931, p. 5.
From The Court Of Iris catalog, 1955: "MARY SENNI (Millet et Fils '30) E 42" $.50. This Iris was much heralded in its day. The flowers are large and it blooms well. The standards are soft lilac with a peculiar red-brown flush. The falls are deep violet with lilac tips. Named for the Contessa Mary Senni who lives near Rome and is an ardent Iris lover with many interesting originations to her credit, although she has never allowed any of them to be introduced."
