SAILOR'S DANCE (Schreiners '73), with its large, well formed flowers of deep marine blue, competes for your attention constantly. Its full, rich color, white beard tinted blue, and excellent branching all add up to a great new iris-one that will make its way to many show benches when people can bear to take it away from its place in the garden.
