(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.
