References:

From Schreiner’s catalog, 1964: STEPPING OUT (Schreiner 1964) ML. 38". This is essentially a white iris in both standards and falls, strikingly picoteed an unbelievably rich deep violet. The bold effect resulting carries the plicatas to new heights of contrast. The snowy ground color--much larger in the standards than is customary--has a handsome, glossy sheen, while the rich pansy-violet margining has a stylish ruffling that greatly enhances the beauty of the flower. The large blooms, held aloft with regal carriage and ideal, four-way branching, create a stunningly beautiful clump. Garden visitors unsling their cameras when STEPPING OUT catches their eye. A jewel for your garden. A tall Dot & Dash contrastwise, clearer white standards. No. S562-A. Pictured above. $25.00.
STEPPING OUT did what no other plicata had done in many years when it won the Dykes Medal. It is an outstanding iris for the garden and for the show bench, as proven by its winning the Nelson Award this year. [Mullin, Ron (1971). Irises I Like, American Iris Society Bulletin 204(January 1972), 13.]
