From Fairmount Gardens, 1958: MOONLIGHT MIST 55-15 (C. and K. Smith 1958) EL. An exquisite flower of pale lavender-blue with smooth light yellow hafts and bright full yellow beard, thus making a beautiful and unusual combination of color. The flowers are of traditional formal shape not marred by coarse veining with blossoms 5-1/2 inches high and 6-1/2 inches wide, delicately rippled at the edges and carried on well branched strong stalks. A cool frosty sheen covers the entire bloom that has a very smooth firm texture. Garden visitors in the past two years have urged the introduction of this iris and now that we have sufficient stock we are pleased to presen it. South Pacific x (Admiration x Blue Valley). 36 in.
