GOING MY WAY (Gibson)-a modern STEPPING OUT, but the purple band is even wider. Same show stalks. A purple plic that very nearly won the Dykes and should have. [Perry Dyer, “A Tall bearded Collection for the Beginner”, The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 237 (April 1980): 35-36.]

• TB Going My Way was blooming at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, zone 4b, approximately May 31 - June 7, in 2017. I didn't notice and Purple Based Foliage at the base of the leaves, but the spathes did have some purple coloring to them. -- HollyJohnson2017 -04-01 - 24 Aug 2017
