From AIS Bulletin #193 April 1969 Introducing STEP CHILD (Mr. Bernard Hamner) BB. 26". E-M-L. Dot and Dash X Rococo. Our name is a playful reference to its gorgeous TB counterpart, Stepping Out. It is an iris that we feel can become equally famous in its class. Step Child is a vivid, royal blue-violet on white plicata. Superb, low branching (passed on to its sdlgs.), with up to 11 buds per stalk. Low foliage, perfect proportion and has never grown up (see p 77, Oct. '68 AIS BULL). This little beauty won an EC (best sdlg. in Riverside, Calif. show) and an HC in 1968. $15.00 per each, net. Sierra Vista Iris Garden.
