FLOATING CLOUD—68-04 (F. Brown). E to L. 37". This beautiful large velvet finish white iris has a most unusual form, closed standards, large fluted falls. The entire flower has much fluting, excellent branching, is a robust grower, and the most prolific bloomer I have yet seen. It is the first to bloom and blooms continually until the bloom season is over. Each blossom lasts from 3 to 4 days; the older the blossom, the more fluting it shows. (Music Maker X Celestial Snow). $25.00. (Lansend, 1973).
