References:

From Tell’s Iris Garden catalog, 1955: GRACELLE (Margaret Albright). E.-M.-L. (Dreamcastle) x (Sister to Pink Salmon x President Pilkington.) Pinkish-lavender blend with an electric lavender-blue flush in the falls. Edges of both standards and falls are ruffled and laced. The flowers are very large, wide and clean, yet a little closely-bunched due to inadequate branching for such a flower, but those of us who have seen it know its quality and charm and I predict a great future for this beautiful iris as a breeder for many wonderful colors. It is out-crossbred. Tremendous rhizomes that are very vigorous, winter hardy and fast of increase. Fertile both ways. H.C.1954. $25.00
