Purchased this iris some years ago and has become a garden favourite. I will have to shift it this season as the dogwood trees are starting to shade it, hence the only slight blue edging on the falls. If you can find it buy it!!! It's one classy lady
Schreiners Iris Lover's 1964 Catalog
AZURITE Highly individual.... a plicata that could almost be called a 'white plicata'. A few minute, lightest, speckling and dots of light violet and then nestled in the center of the flower is its main attraction--- strikingly rich blue style arms and crests. Most unusual. HM '61

What a beautiful iris - this would suit well my garden, and remind me of my Finnish roots with its white and blue colours...
ReplyDeleteI am likin' this Iris, too! I do enjoy browsing through your irises, being on opposite sides of the globe means I can enjoy your Irises as winter approaches, here. thanks.
