"SILVER SPOONS ('87?), so very well named, is the finest, a smooth light blue with wide form expected of an '80's introduction, and huge, wild, well-shaped, consistent flounces in exactly the same color as the flower. If Moonshine Monty continues to use the same highly critical selection standards that Manley Osborne has practiced, I predict the advancement in this area of hybridizing will skyrocket." [Perry Dyer (Oklahoma), “Melrose Gardens” The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 263, (October 1986): 21.
