LIGHT FANTASTIC (0. Brown '68) has been a favorite of mine since its debut. Even though its plant habits are weak in some areas, there is not another iris around to outdo its lovely ruffles. It's a "happy" flower; and after watching the unusual buds for several days before opening, you are happy too when at last a bouquet of ruffles explodes before your eyes. From green shaded buds come blooms of soft white that really glisten in the sunlight.
