From AIS Bulletin #220 January 1976 Introducing SPACE BLAZER (1976). TB, E, 40", #48-1A. $25.00. "Space Blazer" just about expresses the feeling you get when looking at a clump of this iris in bloom. The clear blue self of good form contrasting with the rich red beard makes it most appealing. It blooms quite early, and lasts well thru the season. Very much admired. Gibson's Iris Garden.
