MIRROR IMAGE (Hager '79) looks very much like STEPPING OUT. Contrary to hybridizers information this iris blooms fairly early. It has good form and very good branching. [F. G. Stephenson, (VA), “1980 Iris Season Reviewed in Virginia”, The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 239 (October 1980): 42.]
