FLUTED HAVEN (Reynolds '58). Another superlatively fine white with extreme ruffling, fine substance, excellent form, and with sturdy well-branched stalks. A grand iris. It is a good performer, though perhaps of only average rapidity of increase. Ralph and Helen Lewis, "Irises We Liked", A.I.S. Bulletin 164 (Jan. 1962): 47. |
FLUTED HAVEN was introduced by the Reynolds in 1958 and it became overnight a member of most "must have" lists in the country. Here is a wide, heavy-substanced lady with closed, ruffled standards and fluted falls (not ruffled), and a white beard, withal, a very finished flower-in fact, the features of the flower are the combination of finish and heavy fluting. I took no notes on the plant but I will try to fill in this year. I must meet this Reynolds lady-she has a good eye! Carey E. Quinn, “The Modern White Iris,” The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 166 (July 1962): 10. |
