(M. Valenzuela 2009) TB. 38 inches VE-E. Voted (tied) Best Region 15 introduction in 2010 at The Region 15 Trek! Here is a showy iris with billowing ruffled falls. It has great growing habits, great form, and great branching. It's a child of Snowbrook, one can say it's a much improved Snowbrook! Standards are white, with a hint of silver in the shade. The billowy, ruffled falls are a clean white with a purple-plicata edge. Note the striking mulberry-purple plicata markings and veining on the shoulders, and surrounding the beard. The beards are yellow with lavender-purple at the end. The birth of this iris turned out to be magic.

(Margie Valenzuela, 2012) TB, A nice cool, cool blue. Near icy looking sometimes. And depending on weather conditions it can look lighter or deeper in color. Those deep colored beards accent this iris perfectly. Substance is so good, this iris seems nearly weather proof. Sdlg. SFC-07-CC, TB. 33-35". Mid to late season. Stands. and style arms are a baby blue to light Baby Blue. Falls are lighter. They're a light baby blue to a pale baby blue. Beards stand out, as they are bronze in the throat changing to blue to deep blue. Excellent substance.
