References:

From AIS Bulletin #228 Winter 1978 Introducing MULBERRY MIST-BB, 24", M. (72-27-2). This lovely light red-violet self (80B) is even prettier in the fall than in the spring. It blooms profusely, 10-12 blooms, on 4-5 branches over a long period of time. Several open blooms at one time also make it a potential show iris. Beard is gold at throat, changing to a self as it emerges outward. Domed standards and flaring falls are lightly ruffled. (Mahalo X Mulberry Wine). $20.00. Burch Iris Gardens.
