(TB) 'Countess Senni'?

No Iris name as 'Countess Senni' could be found in checklist and perhaps the name in the varietal comment below is 'Giulianella' Since Giulio was her first name.

"Countess Senni's namesake was present in a large clump covered with a mass of its huge blooms. It is something on the order of a softer colored 'Elizabeth Egelberg' or 'Frieda Mohr' with a trifle more blue in the standards but a huge flower with more drooping falls than these. The general effect was a rosy mass that was much admired. I did not particularly like the color as an individual stalk but the effect was undeniably fine in mass. It is high branched and somewhat bunched on the stalk which resulted in covering the clump with bloom so the leaves were hardly visible, unusually free blooming for so huge an iris." --- Sherman Duffy, p. 70; AIS Bulletin #57; April 1935.
