From Hallcroft Iris catalog, 1949: TIP TOP. A striking and unusual color combination. The standards are solid violet blue and the falls white with a very delicate peppering of blue in the throat and on the edges of the falls. From a short distance it looks like an Amoena in reverse, but it should be classed as a plicata. The medium sized flowers have a clean crisp appearance, substance and form are good. The 30-inch stems are well branched. $7.50
Tip Top (Hall '47)—A smaller edition of Minnie Colquitt, but it was on a one-year plant. The coloring and pattern are both very similar to these features in Minnie Colquitt. [Winegar, Nina N. (1949). Iris Time in the Rockies, American Iris Society Bulletin 116(January 1950), 69.]
