From AIS Bulletin #257 April 1985 Introducing STEPPING PROUD-Tested in our garden for 3 years before it was registered to make sure it would rebloom each fall. Dependable bloomer in the spring and starts blooming mid-September here. A clump with 7 stalks was still blooming Nov. 10 when I moved it into our green house in a 5-gallon pail because of frost. The last flower bloomed Dec. 15. Have counted an unbelievable 12 blooms on one stalk. Larger than Stepping Out with wider F. Blue-violet self with orange beards tipped white. Do not let the price mislead you as we are overstocked on this terrific fall bloomer. (Stepping Out X unknown). $15.00. Pleasure Iris Gardens.
