From Tell’s Iris Gardens catalog,1959: "Catherine and Kenneth Smith sent DOLLY LOREY, the lovely blue iris which they named for one of their charming daughters-in-law, and we liked this excellent performer every bit as well as its Award of Merit winning sister seedling SOUTH PACIFIC. The stock of DOLLY LOREY is plentiful, we are happy to say, so it is being priced within the reach of many hybridizers and growers. The Smith's need no formal introduction, their accomplishments are monumental."
