The other attempt to get something new in the violet/Blue color range was this gorgeous colored Iris it has been one of my best growers makes big plants, beautiful stems and love the contrast between the violet flowers and those powder blue beards
especially impressive in clumps as shown in the pictures it has been a reliable bloomer here through some tough years and should do well all over the country..a special Thanks to Debra who came up with the name

I did quite a few crosses with it for a couple years as it has such good qualities and was hoping bred into some blues would get some different shades of violet/Blues with lines on the falls coming from the pedigree but it is a very dominant color I had almost a 150 ft row full of seedlings from it bred with other blues and most were the same color as it
there were a few crosses that have some potentials and I saved some of them to
breed with..
