A rose-on-cream plicata that I really like. It hasn't won any awards, but its performance for us is much better than some that won awards when it was new. It has a different color, and good size, form, substance and branching. Hildenbrandt, Lester (1965). Irises for a Beginner, American Iris Society Bulletin, 177 (April 1965), 27.
