References:

From Fleur De Lis Gardens catalog 1956: ORCHID RUFFLES (Schreiner 1954) E. M. 35 in. (Parentage unavailable). A lovely iris done in a true light lavender orchid, really more to the true lavender than to the orchid we believe. Quite close in color to Mr. Halls' Lavender Mist, but a larger and more showy flower. Very silken of finish and quite ruffled. 7.50.
