Description from the 1961 Avonbank Iris Gardens catalogue: An intermediate onco-bred, that shares with its sibling, Parchment Scrolls, the ruffled texture of old Zua. It has a tight, lovely onco form, with onco splashings and signal of violet over paler violet. Standards are very firm, yet it is from Capitola. Exotic and striking, yet rock-hardy and vigorous. 18"height. $5.00
