From AIS Bulletin #202 July 1971 Introducing AGE OF AQUARIUS (Foster '71). Sdlg. AF-25-1. (Above All x Babbling Brook) X ((Pikes Peak x (Mary McClellan x Pikes Peak)). TB. 33". Midseason. Words are not enough to describe this blue beauty. A blue of a different hue. Almost a flax blue self, with a lavender wash half way down the falls, giving the entire flower a steel gray-blue effect. An incorporation of all the excellent qualities of its parents. The standards and falls are of extreme width, with excellent substance. All-over ruffling adds great depth to its beauty. Beard is bluish white. Growth habits, foliage and branching are very good. $30.00. Mesa Iris Gardens.
