From AIS Bulletin #197 April 1970 Introducing SEA OF TRANQUILITY (1970) $35.00. B-203 (two Marquesan Skies seedlings). Very dark blue, beautifully ruffled with excellent substance. 26" tall, it has a graceful stem with fine branching. Beard is lemon, but this iris has the red beard of Marquesan Skies recessively, and if you are interested in putting red beards on dark blue or black iris, you may find it useful. It is the most beautiful iris in this color class I have seen. Fertile both ways. HC 1969. Blocher. |
