Judy Young of Paris, Texas, suggested this name since this is an improved Grandma's Springdress and the fact that it is the lavender color of the dresses Grandmas used to wear. The golden hafts and gold beard give the impression of a trim of golden sash. A different color for your garden. HC 1977. $25.00. Cape Iris.
