From Tell’s Gardens catalog,1962: All ETERNITY (Selma Jensen) Midseason-Late 36 inches. (Queen's Lace x Dr. Wanlass) Cold blue-white self petals laced. Not quite as wide as its sister, My Alana, introduced last year, however, it has much charm. An arrangement of this iris won a Sweepstakes for Selma Jensen at Logan show. Branching only fair. $20.00
The sensation of the late season was ALL ETERNITY. This 1962 Tell introduction was breathtakingly beautiful. Light lavender buds opened to a huge white flower with the barest suspicion of lavender tint. Standards were rounded and closed and the falls, which fell nearly vertically, were large and delicately laced at the bottom. The plant was a good brancher, an excellent reproducer, and a large and vigorous grower. A certain lack of substance which the favorable late May weather did not really test might be a possible weakness. [Donald W. Mitchell, “The 1963 Season in Region 4,” The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 172 (January 1964): 51.]
