References:

From Tell’s Iris Garden catalog, 1958: SENORITA ESTELA (Crosby). Early-Midseason Late. 38 inches. (Snow Flurry x Great Lakes) x (Jane Phillips). Big, wide, extra heavily substanced, flared, ruffled, deep lavender-blue set off by a blue-white area surrounding the beard. A strong and healthy grower. Crossed with Violet Grace, Pinafore Lass, or their seedlings, this should intensify the light area in the falls (something I am working for) or could produce very good blues or whites. $20.00
