From AIS Bulletin #209 April 1973 Introducing OLD GLORY (1973) B-263. M-L, 30". Tall $25.00. Marquesan Skies X Supercalifragilistic. I have tried several different approaches to a red white and blue iris over the years, but this is the iris that has given me the most pleasing and harmonious color combination. The flowers are medium in size, the stems graceful and nicely branched (three and sometimes four). The flowers open a light blue with a coral beard, but within the day the falls diffuse to a large white blaze below the beard. The standards retain their blue color, and the wide coral beard nestling on the white blaze makes this a pleasant iris to enjoy. Clarence Blocher.
