From AIS Bulletin #241 April 1981 Introducing SEEKER-Sdlg. 2776B: Involved blue-bearded breeding. Another attractive addition to the elusive search for a white iris with a blue beard. The graceful billowing standards are near white with a tinge of blue at the hafts. The wide, very ruffled falls are pale blue when opening but soon fade to white. They are accented by blue beards. The very voluptuous, crisp, glistening flowers of heavy substance have strong stalks to display this beauty. It's a healthy grower with a heritage of many long years of bluebearded breeding. Truly an iris with flair and personality. Midseason, 34". $25.00. Echo Hill Gardens.
